Provision for children. Do read a copy of
our bright yellow leaflet “Families in Church”
to see what groups are available for children
from toddlers to 11. Apart from All Age
services the children depart for their
activities after about 10 minutes in church.
During all services the vestry (straight
through the right hand doors at the front of
the church) is available for parents with pretoddlers who need a quiet place to settle
their children if they get distressed in church.
The service can be heard from this room.

Volunteers needed for new rota
A new church rota is about to be compiled
and we really need more volunteers willing to
make tea and coffee after the service and to
welcome people beforehand. These are both
easy but really valuable ways of supporting
the church community and Sue S or Chris B
would be delighted to talk to you if you would
like to know more. Thanks
Ian is also looking at readers and possibly
people to lead prayers please email or speak
to him if you would like to be added to the
rota.
Admission to Church Schools
As there are many parents attending Jesus
Church who want their children to be
considered for admission to Forty Hill School
and other Church Schools, we now keep a
register of attendance.
Lost Property
We have a lost property box in the Charis
Centre – do please take a look if you have
lost anything. We will be disposing of
unclaimed items in a few weeks to make
room for more!
