4th Communities next Sunday
These groups are an expression of our desire to see lives transformed by the power of the Gospel. They mostly meet on the 4th Sunday of each month and also midweek for Bible study and prayer. There are leaflets on the table explaining more about each group and who to contact if you would like to get involved:
Formerly the church outside Now: WILD group. We will be partaking in a morning of climbing, team games and pancakes! All welcome, including little ones, but The Tower is only accessible to Year 4 upwards. Meet in the hall at 10.30 and we should be finished by 12.30. No charge but feel free to bring some pancake toppings, juice and fruit for our shared brunch. For more details: Sharon/Pete Blyth (07525444901) Or Rachel/Chris Oldham 01237 471167
Powerhouse starts at 11.00 am at Ashleigh School for a fun, interactive time of worship. All families welcome.
Reform meet in the evening at 7.30 pm at the Reform Inn, Pilton Street for a study of Matthew 7. Anyone welcome. If you would like to read a commentary first that would be good but not necessary. If you want to borrow one contact Mark Cartmell on 378168.
