We continue on our journey through the book of Exodus - what do you do when God speaks but the vision is immediately challenged and things get worse not better? (Exodus 5-6)
There are a couple of opportunities each week to join with others for a time of prayer. Monday Evening at 7pm and/or Saturday morning at 10am both in the lounge. It would be great if you could join us.
Crafty Chatters
Do you enjoy craft? A few of us will be getting together to craft, have a chat and catch up over a cup of tea or coffee. We meet on the 1st Friday of every month from 7.30pm - 9pm. If you are interested in coming along or want to know more, have a chat with Sue Rock or Ruth Evans.
Coffee Mornings and Service
The coffee mornings take place on the
2nd Tuesday of each month. We also have a monthly daytime service with traditional hymns and a short reflection at
11 am on the fourth Tuesday of every month. The coffee morning will be taking a break for the summer now, but the midweek service will continue, with the next meeting on the 23rd July.

Family News
We have to pass on the sad news that Rob Vernon's dad has passed away. After a short but brave fight he went to be with his Saviour early on Sunday morning (14th July). Please pray as the whole family does their best to come to terms with what has happened and in particular pray for Rob's mum, Catherine.
May he rest in peace and rise in glory
Church Lunch Dates
It's great to be able to enjoy fellowship together (and food!) and we have one more church lunch this year
September 29th
Please put this date in your diary and we look forward to seeing you there. Everyone is welcome!
Bins
As you may be aware, in the church porch , lounge and hall we have three separate bins (one for general waste and the other two for specific recycling items) When you dispose of rubbish, if you could place it in the appropriate bin we would really appreciate it. We now have the same category of outside bins so it will be easier to transfer rubbish from the inside to outside bins if the correct items are put in the appropriate bin. Many thanks for your co-operation with this
