Notices – week beginning 02-03-08

Youth. Our new Youth Project begins today, entitled ‘True Colours’. We’re grateful to Chris, Anne & Julia for taking this on, and it will run on Sundays 2.30-4.00 and Mondays 6.30-8.00. To start with it will be an open youth club for ages 8-13 (years 4-9), but is expected to consolidate into a manageable group capable of putting on a show at the beginning of July. Anne will help teach art, Chris singing and Julia drama and dance. It should be fun. All equipment provided, and free of charge.

Growth Group. Our second study this week in the book of Nehemiah, using workbooks from Scripture Union in the Lifebuilder Bible Studies series. Cost £3.99. You can order a copy over the internet (ISBN 978 1 85999 629 4), or have a word with me. Meeting at Antoine & Jo’s again this Wednesday, and until further notice. 140 Summergangs Road. 7.30

Peter Crook. It’s been a bit of a stressful week with the European audit on Monday (which went fine – thanks for your prayers), and Peter tripping on the wooden ramp outside the Church.
