We had a Love theme and explored 1 Corinthians 13: 1-13. Love is difficult to explain – a feeling? An action? Our time of prayer included quiet and it was extraordinary as these youngsters were so quiet you could hear a pin drop – amazing for this group of live wires! Supper followed (pizza, chicken nuggets, potato wedges, garlic bread, jam tarts and pop – tea/coffee for adults).Do join us next month 13th March at 6.30pm. Its free - donations gratefully received.

This Lent, we journey through the book of Acts, tracing how God’s story became the Church’s story—and ours. From a small, fragile group in Jerusalem to a worldwide movement, Acts shows God breaking barriers and transforming lives through His Spirit. This isn’t just history—it’s still unfolding today, and you’re part of it. Booklets will be available in church on Ash Wednesday and Sunday 22nd February
