If you might be interested in supporting our services by learning how to use the (very simple) streaming system in St Mary’s, please speak to Marion, Angie, Michael or Caroline. It would be good to have another name or two on the rota.
New Seasons 4th July:
There will be a meeting of New Seasons bereavement group in Little Munden church on Saturday 4th July from 2pm until 4pm. If you have recently lost your partner or if it was many years ago please join us for an informal chat with a cup of tea and a piece of cake. If you would like more information please phone Heather on 07909 065550 or just come along on the day.
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:
Bookings are going well and Caroline is collecting names of any who would like to help with the 2026 Holiday Bible Club, ‘God’s People and the Temple of the Rising Son’. The club runs from 10 – 3 on each of the four days; we meet for briefing and prayer at 9.30 each morning. The larger the team, the easier it is for everyone. If you can help on some or all of the days, please speak to Caroline.
