HOLIDAY CLUB 2008 – STAR ZONE

Holiday Club is fast approaching, so we would like to ask you to pray that all will go well this year and for all the people involved – the people who have volunteered to help in any way, and for the children who are coming and their families.

§       We are using the ‘Muller’ type yogurt pots to plant seeds – if you have any of these pots could you bring them in for us please?  We need about 70.

Thank you to all those who have volunteered to help this year.  We are still looking for someone to come in and do the drinks for us on

§       the Thursday – at 11am and 2pm for the children and helpers and at about 9.15am for the helpers before we start.  If you feel that you could help in this way, then please have a word with one of us.

§       Also, next Sunday (27^th) we will need to clear the chairs out of the church after the morning service – many hands make light work, so if you are able to carry chairs and can spare some time, we would be very grateful for your help. 

Thank you, Kate, Marie, Andrew and Dawn
