Mission Boxes

Please pass your mission boxes (or their contents, to Eileen Byde so that the funds can be sent off and put into use!

If you would like to start holding a box for Home Mission or BMS World Mission, please speak to Eileen. It’s a great place to put your small (or large) change!

Parents and Toddlers

Please pray for the Parents and Toddlers Group.  We have lost a couple of parents recently as their little ones have started other activities on a Tuesday morning and we are coming up to the summer when we always lose some of our older children as they go off to nursery and school.  We need to reach the “next generation” and have placed an advert on the Village Noticeboard.  Please pray that our numbers increase before the summer.

Summer Newletter

Please pass all newsletter items for the summer edition to Derek as soon as possible.

You’ve Got The Time

If you would like to start listening to the Bible Society recording of the New Testament, or know somebody else who would, there are some further listeners now available. Alternatively, if you prefer, you can download the MP3 tracks from the Bible Society web-site at www.biblesociety.org.uk/audio/ygtt/ygtt.xml.

Please don’t forget the Treasurer’s Challenge. If you’ve been blessed by listening to the Good News, then we hope you will want to contribute to a donation to the Bible Society at the end of the programme to provide listeners for towns and villages in Africa. If Each felt able to give £1.00 a day, we would currently raise in excess of £1,500! Why don’t you put something aside each day?

We will celebrate the work of the Bible Society on June 10^th (just after the 40 day programme finished because of Pentecost and Half Term) when you will able to bring your gifts.

Saturday 26^th May 2012, 10.30am – 12.30 pm at Emmanuel Church, Shepherds Lane, Stoughton, Guildford, GU2 9SJ.

Summer Holiday Club

24^th – 27^th July
Thank you to everyone who came to our first get-together last Thursday when we were able to share some great ideas for this year’s Holiday Club – it was a great turn-out. Ruth will be producing some Notes from the meeting so don’t worry if you weren’t able to be there.  Unfortunately the Notes aren’t quite ready to distribute today but Ruth will circulate either paper copies or, where possible, by e-mail as soon as she can.
It’s not too late to get involved – the Holiday Club week is great fun but can only happen if we have a strong team running it and we would love you to be part of the team this year!
