After the hectic activity from February through to the official opening in July, things have been a little quieter at church. The summer months are traditionally a time when the busyness of normal schedules is slowed down, when people take holidays, when the usual activities stop. It’s necessary to recharge batteries at times!
But the summer holidays are drawing to a close, and September will be on us before we know it. With that, various ‘old’ ministries will be re-starting and some new ones will be starting for the first time.
The ‘old’ ministries?
Well, Bible studies on Ephesians will be restarting on Thursdays (from 16th September) at 7.30 p.m.
Prayer meetings will be held on alternate Fridays.
Youth clubs and Mums ‘n’ Toddlers will re-start on Monday evenings and Friday mornings respectively from 6th September and 10th September.
The ‘new’ ministries?
A Saturday coffee morning will start on Saturday 4th September and will run from 10 a.m. until 12 noon every Saturday. We need volunteers to help run this and we hope we have many local people calling in for a drink and a chat. The former Methodist church used to run these coffee mornings very successfully for a number of years and we have already been asked by lots of people if we will be holding them, so we hope people will be pleased to know they’ll be running from September!
We are also hosting a badminton/ fellowship evening for adults on alternate Friday evenings.
And there are more new things being planned.
So let’s look ahead with enthusiasm and see what we can learn in the weeks and months ahead. Our aims are to grow closer to God and to each other and to be able to serve our community.
