• Sunday morning services will continue as usual (10:30) – there is no Splash/Bubbles for the kids, but we have something ‘easy preparation’ for them (OK, so it’s a Story Keepers DVD and some colouring/puzzles!) so they don’t have to sit through the adult sermon.
• There will be no evening services during August.
• Wed prayer meetings will continue as usual.
• Mums & Toddlers will continue on a Friday morning except 26th Aug and 2nd Sept.
• JAM and the Edge on Friday have finished until 9th Sept. If you want to book someone in for JAM next year (expanding the age range again means we may be too full to just take anyone who turns up on the night) please use the contact form.

In September, we will be extending the age range for JAM to include anyone in primary school, to fill the gap between JAM and the Edge. This to mean we may actually be reach our limit of those attending, so we’re going to be giving priority to those already in JAM (or brothers and sisters if they’re coming into the new age range), and then to those who register in advance.

If you want to register, please pick up a form on a friday night, or contact us to get hold of one.

Wow, looking at the website you’d think that was the quickest summer ever. For anyone under 18, it probably felt like it too. I remember the days…

Anyway, Sun 5th marks the last week of our summer schedule. After that we’ll be back to everything as usual I think.

JAM and The Edge  restart on 10th, and the evening services restart on the 12th. Prayer meetings and Mums & Toddlers never stopped.

Oh yes, and the new toilets are open!

We’re not quite finished with some bits of the new building, like the car park and offices. We have plenty to finish off, but we’ll announce the date of the dedication and celebration soon. Probably a Sat at the end of the month, but we have to let Dave recover from the wedding before we sort that out.

Sunday services will be 10:30 as usual in the morning, but will only last about an hour. There will be no sunday school, but the younger children (primary school, or thereabouts) will have somewhere supervised to go during the preach with a drink and games or a video etc.
There won’t be any Sunday evening services during the rest of July or Aug. With the numbers having been fairly low the last few months and traditionally dropping over the summer, we thought it best to give those who spend the effort putting them together a rest. We’ll look at putting a more programmed schedule in for the autumn to hopefully encourage people to come along.

The Edge finished last Fri Update: I’ve just been told that apparently there’s something this Fri for the Edge – maybe a sleepover

JAM finishes tomorrow (22nd) with ice cream and ‘sports day’.

Mums & Toddlers will continue for the summer, with probably a week off at the end of Aug to allow the car park temporary toilets to be removed etc.

Wednesday prayer meetings will continue as usual.

House groups I confess to being unsure about. A lot of the Southbourne gang are having babies, so we’re taking a break. Check with the leaders for the other groups.

The website will continue, but might not get a sermon update every week. I’ll post those that have something recordable (I expect a few may be more visual/interactive which doesn’t really work on mp3, and I’m not up to video every week).
