Knitting for Kisiizi:
Thank you to everyone who knits items to send to Kisiizi hospital. May we ask, please, that no more hats are knitted at the moment. Kisiizi still needs vests, especially the smaller size for prem babies. The patterns can be found in the folder by the wool basket. If you or anyone you know has some wool which you no longer need, please can you put it in this basket for our knitters. Please contact Diane on 01920821130 if you need it collecting.
Christianity Explored course:
We are planning to run a Christianity Explored course in the autumn. This is a 7 session course, consisting of video clips, Bible study and discussion and is suitable for anyone interested in finding out more or refreshing their knowledge of what our Chrisitan faith is about. It will take place on Sunday afternoons (apart from 4th Sundays) in September and October. If you or anyone you know is interested in taking part, or if you would like to help support the group, please speak to Caroline.
Holiday Bible Club 24th – 27th August:

The club runs from 10 – 3 on each of the four days; we meet for briefing and prayer at 9.30 each morning. If you can help on some or all of the days, please speak to Caroline.
