Fellowship Lunch – Sunday 11th April

As always we need to know numbers A.S.A.P. so please sign up on the list at the back of the church.
Bring a friend… If you’ve got no friends bring an enemy, we love them too.

Attention those who are aged 55+
We are hoping to arrange a visit to Mulberry House on Wednesday November 24th
The visit will include Lunch and a chance to experience ‘Hearing God in our Everyday Lives’ with Marilyn Baker, songwriter, singer, and musician.
Although November seems a long way off we will need to book by mid April so we will need names as soon as possible. The cost for the day is £9.50. The day commences at 12.15pm for a 12.30pm lunch followed by the programme as advertised.
We are hoping to arrange transport (cost and details to be advised).
If you feel that this trip could interest you please speak to Christine & Ken.

On Saturday 27th March a group from this church will visit “The Chocolate Lady” at Steeple Bumpstead.

Group demonstrations start at 2.30pm with an introduction and demonstration of chocolate making techniques and tips which you can try at home.
The demonstration is followed by refreshments which can be either cream teas or tea/coffee and biscuits. At the end of the demonstration you will be able to purchase delicious handmade chocolates, chocolate making moulds and copies of her book, all at favourable prices.

Thanks to Ken for all the photos

On Sunday 25 October we gave thanks to God with a harvest celebration. Ken and Chris decorated the church wonderfully in a harvest theme. Click here to see the photo gallery.

Produce brought to the church was donated to Mill Grove orphanage in South Woodford.

The meeting was followed by a soup lunch and what we would normally have spent on Sunday lunch was instead donated to charity. Donations totalling £279.20 will be sent to World Vision to help equip a maternity ward in Makoka, Zambia with necessary supplies and to help give children the best start in life possible.
More details about the project we are supporting can be found by clicking here.

Turn on the Tap is a campaign for safe accessible water for people in the developing world.
Donations and sponsorship for the walk raised over £300.
