Reminders & Events

Books for Young Children
At the end of the Country Fair, the organiser at the St Mary’s toy stall kindly let us have the remaining children’s books for the bookshelf in The Dove Café. The shelves got quite depleted over the summer, as it is a very popular feature of the cafe.
Even with the new books added, the picture book section is still quite low. If you can spare any books for young children we would be pleased to receive them. Thank you.

Children’s Work
In the coming months we’ll be thinking about how we can grow and enhance our Sunday children’s work… It is important that as many church members as possible are involved in growing the faith of our children. If you are interested in being a part of this ministry in the future, and our initial discussions, please let Lloyd know. Thank you!
