Lisa’s last Sunday JUNE 14th
IT STARTS OFF WITH A NEW BUBBLE CHURCH SERVICE! Whoop whoop!! See advert above.
AT 10.30am, there will be NO YOUTH CHURCH, as we will be one big family, all worshipping God together. There will be some quiet activities for children to do near the Lady Chapel.
I will be presiding at Holy Communion and preaching... but please bear with me as there might be some tears. (Bring Kleenex tissues!)
After the service, everyone is invited to the Church Hall to share in a Buffet Lunch together.
Food and drinks are being served by Church volunteers, and paid for from Church funds.
It will be great to see you then, and also before of course!!!
