SUNDAY 17th December 2017 Services over Christmas There will be no Sunday service on Christmas Eve. We will meet for a shorter service on Christmas day at the usual time of 10.30am. We will also meet as normal the following Sunday on New Year’s Eve at 10.30am. Youth Alpha The HVNLY's, CAYP and Meanwood Valley Baptist Church are putting on Youth Alpha starting on Sunday the 7th of January. The sessions will run on a weekly basis between 6.30pm and 8.30pm at Stainbeck Church. We would love for anybody who is interested in helping with it to come forward. This is a brilliant opportunity for the young people to learn more about Jesus in a relaxed, friendly environment. We need leaders, general supervisors, cooks and washer uppers. If you would like to communicate your faith to young people in any way at this setting , please speak to Steve Ingle, Dave Small or Hannah Dey. We always want to care & look out for each other as a community, but please remember that except for when they are in their designated groups, all children & young people remain the responsibility of their parents/carers at all times. Thanks everyone! Set up in December – Ruth Mark’s house group. Set up in January – Viv, Harland and Mike’s house group. Today Mark Baxby will be leading our worship. After the break, Shona Shaw will be speaking on Matthew 7:15-29 as we complete our series on the sermon on the mount.
