Portmahomack Mission Appeal
Where is Portmahomack? It's in the UK, way way up
north. It's as far north as Kristiansand in Norway. It is a seaside village on
the Tarbat peninsula near Tain. For more information,
click here.
We are planning to be involved in the running of the
mission, including two holiday clubs, a parents' evening, and various other
local events. Total cost £140 (the major expense are the airfares, if
participation is heeded by this, please see Struan) We need our Young People
aged 16+ to rise to the challenge and help run this event. I need to have
numbers confirmed in the near future, by the 23rd June. Full and comprehensive
details are available in the porch or see Struan asap

Junior Church
Junior Church caters for pre
school to Year 5 school children at 11.00am service on the 1st, 2nd and 4th Sunday of the
month. The third Sunday of the month is the
All Age Worship Service
Little Angels
runs in the Church Hall for the youngest toddlers and
children up to and including those in school yr.1. We begin the morning in the Church Service for the first song and
prayer and then move into the Hall for Bible Stories, games, colouring and
sticking, followed by singing and prayers.
Disciples
meet in the Old School, Heol y Delyn, Lisvane. This venue
provides this large and lively group with more space for their activities. They
look at Bible stories, play games, have discussions, and sometimes do craft
activities as well as joining together for worship and prayer.
For resources we use material produced
by Childrens Ministry. Our desire, as Junior Church leaders, is to share the love of
Jesus with every child in our care on Sunday morning and to enable them to have
great fun learning about God and His love for each one of us.
