As our students are entering the very busy and stressful exam season we thought it would be nice, as a church body, to send them some encouragement. Would you be willing to write a note of encouragement for one of our students? This could be prayer, scripture or just a few words to let them know they are remembered and prayed for during their exams. If so, please reach out to Ashlie Hershberger via email and she will assign you a student and collect the notes to put into a care package for each student. Thanks!

Cultural evening Sat 24th May – We plan to have an evening of food and fellowship on Saturday 24th May (a change to the date intimated last week).
