JAM outing
A good number of folks picked strawberries on Saturday 25th June at Rectory farm, enjoyed the good weather, as well as the cake and coffee afterwards. The strawberries were then served at the Songs of Praise event, thank you to everyone involved.
JAM during the summer
JAM will be running until the summer holidays, the last session on Sunday 17th July, which is also our church meeting day. It will then take a well-earned rest until Sunday 11th September. There will be a table of activities in church during the services in the summer and Julie Wing has kindly agreed to help with that on Sunday 7th, 14th, 21st August. If there are any children in church on the other Sundays who need a little help with the activities, perhaps you could volunteer to help. Thank you
