Messy Dads Visioning and Planning – Wednesday 29th July, 6pm onwards
The Messy Dads team sense the need for a freshen-up of our vision and aims for this ministry. This Wednesday at 6pm we are meeting to share ideas and pray. We would welcome input from the wider church family too, so if you can come, please do. As there is a Prayer Meeting at 7.30, please get to the chapel as soon as you can after 6pm, or even at 6pm for those whose work pattern allows that. The meeting will finish 7.30 at the very latest. If you can and would like to stay on for the prayer meeting, feel free, or head home then if you need to.

Summer Camps:
Armed Forces Summer Camp – 16-22nd August
Each year about a 100 Armed Forces Youth come together at Summer time to have fun, encourage each other and to make new and lasting friendships. Some come to deepen their faith, others come to find it. The event has been richly blessed by God, time and time again over the past 100 years. You do not need to be a military family to come to camp. For more details please speak to Gemma or click on this link: https://afcu.churchsuite.com/events/s8fzmtq7
We would like to do group bookings for these events, so please speak to Caeli, Suzana or Gemma before enrolling your child/children.
The cost for this event is (residential only) £225 for military children and £375 for non-military children
We don't want any child to miss out for lack of financial resources, so we welcome support for children with donations to the Church bank account – with a reference of "Summer Camp". Account details are FBC, sort code 09-01-29, A/C No 2693853
