Cost is 225.00 and includes transport to and from camp, accommodation on site, excellent food, and lots of activities on and off site. Dates:May 25 - June 2: Junior week - 8-11 years old August 10-17: Inters week - 11-14 years oldAugust 3 - 17: Seniors week - 15-17 years oldThey also run a day camp for the children and young people from the Aberech area.

Firstly, ensuring that our Ministry Centre is sustainable for the future by installing solar panels on the roof. This will help ensure that our running costs are kept low and will help us achieve our Eco church award. Secondly, we have exciting plans for our Grade II listed building. Whilst we gratefully appreciate the beauty of this historic building, we are aware there are some aspects of it which make it less than ideal for ministry in the 21st century. Our project involves stonework repairs and new infrared heating. Read the attached brochure which provides a comprehensive overview, including the plan drawings. Consultation with the congregation and local parish community is now complete. Our project will be funded through:- Our own fundraising efforts- Donations / legacies if appropriate- Some Church unrestricted reserves- Much appreciated grant fundingIf you want to help our project by way of a kind donation, we would love to hear from you.

There are fewer emotions more powerful than hope. But these days, hope often feels hard to come by. Where can we find a hope that wont disappoint us? 'Hope Explored' is our new course for people wanting to explore Christianity by looking at the life, death and resurrection of Jesus in Luke's gospel. This three session series shows that Christianity is about real hope; a joyful expectation for the future, based on true events in the past, which changes everything about our present.To learn more, contact Geoff Fallows on 01695 424530.
