Holiday Club This year we have the really exciting prospect of working together with the other churches to put on holiday club for local children during the school holidays. It would be a great way to get to know more children in the area and to make connections with their families. But for this to happen we need help! We are looking at running it for 3 mornings during the week of 30th July. Would you be able to help in any way? There will be lots of different roles including making refreshments, leading groups and acting! Please speak to Helen Greenwood if you are interested in knowing more (messy@chapela.org.uk). 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 March - Non–housegroup people. Set up in April - The Monday Group This morning we are continuing our series ‘Surprise the World’ and Simon will be speaking on ‘Learn’.
