All Age Worship Service - 1st June
"I am making everything new" - All age worship with music, drama, quiz and message.
These services are planned to be for all age groups, and special provision is made for children 3 and under to enjoy activities at the back of Church. This area is "unsupervised" and therefore we ask parents to accompany their children during the service. Children over 4 years of age should sit at the front of the church or with their parents. Please also note that the ARK creche is unmanned for these services, but parents may use this for babies providing they accompany their little ones. The service can be heard through speakers in this room.
Thank you for your help and understanding as we seek to improve our provision for children.

Teenage Tips "Expect the Unexpected"
Teenagers are ready to take on new freedoms and responsibilities though they have not mastered the skills; as you show them what they need to know they may lash out and get impatient! Remember to be slow to react, show patience and love and above all keep calm. Another lesson from the Sermon on the Mount!
