Notices - week beginning 10/08/08

Welcome to Holy Communion (9.30), followed by Breakfast Club+ (10.30), which this Sunday is on the theme of Zacchaeus ('the Cheat's house').

Christening. There will also be a christening today at 12.30 pm of Travis Robinson, from Estcourt Street. His mum & dad will be getting married here at St John's on December 27th.

Champion's Challenge (August 19-23). We are very sorry, but our Champion's Challenge Holiday club has had to be cancelled as Bruce & Christine Paterson are no longer able to come. Their daughter has given birth to a baby who is seriously ill, and they feel they must stay with her instead.

Holiday Club service (August 24th). This will now be a Morning Worship service instead, but with a special activity during the 'Children's spot'.

Soul Survivor. We are pleased that Nick (Carter) is able to go to the Soul Survivor C camp at Shepton Mallet (Somerset) next Saturday (16th), returning on Thursday 21st.

Growth Group. Why not come along to our Growth Group at Antoine & Jo's on Wednesday? Address: 140 Summergangs, starting at 8 pm. You'd be v. welcome.

Path. As you can see, almost all of the work has now been done on extending our Church path. A big improvement.

Day off. In case you didn't know, my day off has been Friday until now. I believe it's right to switch to Saturdays in future though to be able to spend more time with Ann & Ruth.

Rugby club teas. We do need help to put on teas for the E. Hull Rugby supporters on ten Saturdays until the end of the year. The time commitment is approx 2-4 pm, and the first Saturday is Saturday week (23rd). The burger man is not expected to be there this season, so the Committee are looking to us instead. Let's not disappoint them.

Parish magazines at the back of Church - help yourself.

Hot Gospel Choir. Advance notice that there will be a Hot Gospel Choir event on Saturday October 11th (7.30-9 pm). It should be a good occasion, and an opportunity to invite friends who don't normally come to St John's.

Back to Church Sunday/Alpha. A reminder that this is on September 28th, and coincides with the start of our Alpha Course. This is a 10 week introductory course to Christian faith, and is for anyone. It starts on Sept 28th at St. John's with a buffet lunch from 12.30. Sessions are on DVD, and we finish by 3pm. There will be a crèche facility. If you want to give it a try, without committing to the full course, that's also fine.

Church clean. Next one will be next Saturday, Aug 16th (9.30-12 noon). Volunteers needed.

Wiggy invites us to join her in celebrating her 50th birthday on Monday 18th August at St John's from 7.30pm to 11pm. An informal bring and share (food and drink) evening with a disco. RSVP tel. 898150, mob; 07882265875

Tea/coffee. Your contributions towards the cost of tea/coffee, biscuits etc appreciated in future.

Banns of marriage. Stephen Kilgour/Rachel Taylor & Jamie Alfred John Doyle/Hayley Maria Emson (of St Augustine Hedon). Both couples marrying on September 13th.

Sun 17th Aug Walk Hull Fish Trail. Optional pub supper afterwards. Meet 3pm at Tourist Office by City Hall.

Next Sunday. Morning Worship (10.30 am). Christening (12.30 pm).
