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 thi?

Three main ways to support Safe Families:
Volunteer

Could you get alongside someone in your community who needs support? This could be anything from meeting for a chat to hosting a child overnight.
Three different volunteering roles, so you pick what suits you, when you have the time :-)
Pray

Could you commit to praying regularly for our families, our volunteers and for Safe Families, as we develop and grow? Sign up for our regular prayer letter.
You get an email once a month, with a short message, four prayer points, and stories of answered prayer.

Weekly Groups
Bethel Kids Club is now on a Friday night between 6pm and 7:15pm in the usual place, this is still for school years 4 - 7. Please encourage the young people to share with friends-new term, new time, new day and hoping for a whole bunch of new young people.
Bethel Youth remains on a Friday night between 7pm and 9pm for School Years 7 - 13
You will notice a slight overlap in time and ages, this is so the kids and youth are familiar with one another and it makes transition between the groups easier in the long run.
