Do you know someone who used to go to church but who is no longer able to attend?Are you or do you know someone who would like to receive Holy Communion at home?Have you recently lost a loved one and would appreciate some extra support?Or perhaps you are just feeling a bit lonely and would like someone to talk to?Our newly launched pastoral care team can help with all of this and much more. The pastoral care team is led by the rector and is made up of trained members of our church congregations, who have completed the necessary safeguarding checks. The team is there to provide extra support to our communities, to ensure that no one is forgotten about, and to show the Love of Christ to all people. If you would like a visit from the pastoral care team or if you know someone who you think would value a visit, please do get in touch.Revd Ben 01692 630216
Our Sunday Club members have been doing some brilliant and fun activities over the last few weeks. At our recent Children’s Church afternoon at Barton Turf the children learnt more about the hidden treasure that Jesus spoke about. We made our own treasure and then had our own treasure hunt inside the church, and with the prizes being chocolate bars this went down very well! We even had some time at the end to make and eat our own pizzas!At our Sunday Club morning meetings at Neatishead we have looked at how we can be helping hands and we also looked at the story of Noah’s Ark, even finding time to finish with a game of Dobble!All children aged 3-11 are welcome to join us for Children’s Church and Sunday Club; it is completely free with fun games and activities; come along and see what we are doing.
On Saturday 21st September in the NVH there will be an auction of promises to raise money for Alzheimer’s Research and St Peter’s Bell restoration fund. This event will be similar to the hugely successful auction in aid of Parkinson’s Research held in 2019. So please, even at this early stage, contact either myself, Pauline Simpson or Monica Riley. We have already a substantial ‘promise’!? More information to follow.
