1. SUNDAY 20th May 2018
Chapel A Giving Group pm, Wed 13th June Giving is really important at Chapel A. One way we demonstrate this is by giving away some of our income each year (just over 10%, for 2018/19). A working group will meet on Wed 13th June at Clare's (Model Farm, Meanwood) to look at how we make decisions about Chapel A's giving (e.g. how much, to where, for how long?), and also how we might best support and engage with beneficiaries more generally (e.g. through prayer, personal involvement etc). If you would like to come and take part in this conversation, please contact Clare
Library of Things
We're compiling a list of people who have things that they'd be prepared to share with others; typically the kind of thing you may have at home and use occasionally but it's sitting there unused for most the time. This could include garden equipment, tools, kitchen appliances, games, leisure equipment etc. If you want to find out more or you'd be interested in sharing anything within our community please let me (Pete Wilkie) know and I'll start to compile an initial list.
Carols in the Park 2018
Wasn't Carols in the Park so brilliant last year? This year we want to review the spoken word elements of the event, to see if we can present the gospel clearly for a new generation. If you'd like to be part of a team working on how we might use visuals, drama, talks, presenters etc. please come to Simon and Anna's House at 8pm on Thursday 14th June.
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!

New house group starting for young people
Off the back of alpha, we are going to be starting a new house group for our older young people so that they can continue growing deeper in faith and having space to have fun, eat food and support one another. It will happen fortnightly on a Thursday evening. If you're around about 16+ and would like to be involved, speak to Hannah, Lis or Ness. We would like a male leader or two to help out with this, so that our team is balanced. This is an exciting new thing! Please pray for us as we gather and find the way forward together.
Baptisms
We are very excited that we are probably going to have a baptism service coming up this term. If you are interested in being baptised, please talk to a member of the leadership team or Hannah Dey.
