Celebrate with us in Ypres
If you have never visited Ypres, here is your chance: we'll be travelling just over the border into Belgium to St George's church for a special service for HM Queen's Platinum Jubilee on Saturday afternoon 4 June, followed by tea and cakes in the garden. You can of course visit the town before or after the service.
Take a look at this page, and please book if you would like to join us (we have to send numbers to our friends in Ypres by 20 May).
|
|
If you need a lift, or can offer a place in your car, please let us know.

If you or your children are inspired to colour some bookmarks or bunting, here are some links. We'll put them on display in the hall

And celebrate with us at Pentecost
|
Join us to celebrate Pentecost on Sunday 5 June. We will also be celebrating HM Queen's Platinum Jubilee (read more at this link) and the service will be followed by a celebration drink and cake.
|
|
On that day, we will welcome two new children into our Christ Church family so the third celebration will be a service of baptism.

Monthly prayer focus
|
Our prayers in May are for the church council. Read more details by clicking the button and find out how to join us in prayer.

We are entirely self-funded and we have cut back our expenses as much as possible; but we still need a regular income.
|
|
We're grateful to everyone who continues to support the church and its work, which goes beyond weekly services. Thank you!
|
|
|
If you're not already a regular giver, please consider whether you can give a little each month. Small amounts are just as welcome as large ones, really!
