Prayer meeting – There will be a time of prayer at 5.20pm.
Summer holiday club – We are considering running a holiday club for primary school children in the summer. Please pray about this as we assess whether it is something we can do. We need to get an indication about who might be able to help with this. We realise this is difficult to do given there are no dates yet but this is just a rough guide. Please indicate on the signup sheet at the door whether you might be able to give up some of your time.

Damaris House – We have received a plea via Morven and Geoff Hulks, who spoke at our quiz evening, from Argyris and Dina of Damaris House which many of you have already supported so generously. Due to rising costs, the work is facing a shortfall of approximately £2650 every month. They ask that if you have a heart for this is work that you consider a regular donation through the organisation Stewardship which teams up with TrustBridgeGlobal. They give gift aid on any donations made. Here is the link: https://portal.trustbridgeglobal.com/public/donate?%20id=5cf634990b4a8a18ae75d45295d61ce3ec7c1ba3.
