IN OUR COMMUNITY
CHILDREN AND YOUTH
The children's team have recently introduced some exciting changes. We will meet and greet families on arrival where we hand out name stickers to help everyone feel welcome and youth helpers will support our Sunday children's group, bringing fresh energy and connection across ages. We've also got the Noah's Ark family fancy dress event on 31 October, which promises to be a fun and creative time together.
For our youth and young adults, a few recently attended the Greenbelt Festival. Our youth groups are split into younger youth (school years 7-9) and older youth (school years 10-12). Brewology is our group for young adults aged 17-21, offering space to grow in faith and friendship. We also encourage all young people to serve in the wider church community, building confidence and belonging.
If you'd like to know more bout our children's and youth activities, speak with Tanya.

Donations for a family in Gaza : Larry is asking if anyone is able to give to help relocate a family based in Northern Gaza to the south. The violence has intensified to the point that they have decided to evacuate their home. Amjad, his daughter and his parents have all been injured or have medical conditions so travel is difficult on foot so they need to make assisted travel arrangements. If you can donate, please do so here.
