Whilst none of us can manage to be involved in every part of church life, its still nice to know whats is going on. We hope that this area of the site will help to keep us all up to speed so that we can pray effectively for the ministries and be encouraged by the testimony of others.

North End Playscheme
 North End Playscheme is once again running in mayfield School Field for a week during the summer holidays. It is a great way to connect with the local community and serve local families. 

Plans are well underway for a 'Wild West' theme for this year. The dates are Sunday 15th August for set up, running Monday 16th to Friday 20th August. If you would like to help at all your assistance,as ever, would be greatly appreciated.

This is where you might be able to help. We need volunteers in the following areas:
  • Children's Tent - being part of a team looking after 120 5-11 year olds
  • Parent and Toddler - helping with the toddlers, chatting to parents, making cups of tea!
  • Set-up/ pack down - on the Sunday we need to erect 3 marquees on Mayfield School field and set out all the equipment for the week. Friday afternoon we need to take the marquees back down and pack everything away.
  • Site- helping to keep the site running: generators, port-a-loos, water, etc
  • Security - we need to provide round the clock security on site, so need people to spend an evening there and some gentlemen to sleep in the marquees overnight
  • Catering - providing lunch for the 40+ volunteers (can be baking cakes/heating food)
  • Prayer - we need God's help in all of this and meet each morning to pray as well as on the Sunday preceeding the week. Any prayer cover before and during would be fantastic.
It is not essential that volunteers offer to be there all week (althoght that is welcomed if possible). Just a morning or baking a cake would be appreciated. Training will be given,

The dates for this year's Playscheme are:
  • Sunday 15th August - Set-up and Prayer
  • Monday 16th - Friday 20th August - Playscheme and Parent and Toddler (8am-4pm)
  • Friday 20th August - Pack down (from 4pm)
Please pray for:
  • Lots of volunteers
  • Finance
  • Freebies
Thank you for you your support!
