Sunday 15th June – Celebration Sunday: Next Sunday, as well as being Father’s Day(!) we will have the opportunity as a congregation to celebrate together, as the Sunday Club ends, as presentations are made, as achievements are celebrated, and as we thank God for one another, and for what we have enjoyed and achieved together.

Reachout Trust: From September, Reachout is going to be blessed with another SU Gap Year, Jenna. To enable Jenna to carry out her Gap year they need to find her accommodation locally. If this is something you could offer, please contact rossm.crrt@outlook.com, Also see poster on the notice board for further information.
Artwork for the Courtyard Garden: We are replacing the knitting which was attached to the netting in the courtyard. The knitting was wonderful but had reached the end of its time. We are calling on all youth organisations and anyone who would like to have a go, to draw or paint a picture on A4 size paper. These will be laminated and hung on the netting in the courtyard. Pictures can be handed in to a folder which will be in the welcome area. We are looking forward to seeing some great pictures. Animals, plants, trees etc would look great.
Play Bags: A few bags hanging in the vestibule are available for parents to use during services. You are welcome to take one to use with your child during the service. Please return it to the vestibule after the service.
Foodbank: A big thank you to everyone who supports the Foodbank by donating. The items most needed this month are: Diluting Juice, Rice, Sugar, Tinned Fish, Tinned Tomatoes, UHT Milk, Soup, Pasta Sauce, Washing Powder, Toiletries.
The Prayer Tree is situated inside the welcome area, for anyone in the church and community who wishes to add a prayer to it. You can write your prayer on one of the supplied labels, and either put it on the tree or into the prayer box. The ministry team will look at the prayers regularly and pray for you.
‘Then you will call to me. You will come and pray to me, and I will answer you.’ (Jeremiah 29.12).
