Special Note

Children's Activities in Sunday morning services.

In recent weeks Pat and Carolyn have been running a children's activity table at the back of the church, available throughout the service.
This has been very much appreciated; but Pat and Carolyn are not able to do it every week (apart from anything else, they miss being part of the service!), and they would be grateful for offers of regular or occasional help.
It is most rewarding, and both children and helpers have a lovely time.

LOOKING FURTHER AHEAD...

Sparks Children's Holiday ClubSPARKS children's holiday club - 10th to 13th August at St Mary's Meppershall (but including children and helpers from both Meppershall and Shefford. This year's theme: Superheroes. SPARKS is great fun for the children but also rewarding for the adults – see God's love in action and support mission and outreach to families in our local area.

CAN YOU HELP IN ANY WAY? Please join our friendly, enthusiastic and slightly crazy team! We need group leaders, activity leaders, tea makers, young helpers (Sashes), pray-ers and lots more! If you are interested or would like more info please contact Dawn 01462 816962, Morag 01462 643387 or Jenny 01462 817337.

Inclusion Deadline
Details for the June 2015 “What's On” should reach Jenny Dann
NO LATER THAN FRIDAY 22nd MAY, THANK YOU!
