Messy Church : Jesus goes Backpacking – Saturday 6th July
This month’s Messy Church is exploring our Holiday Club theme of Backpacking !
At this year’s Holiday Club, we will be thinking about travelling around Europe backpacking. Jesus also travelled all around the counties near where he lived – although we don’t think he had a rucksack !
At Messy Church this Saturday, through our usual fun mix of crafts, activities, songs & a story, we’ll be finding out some of what Jesus got up to and why he travelled so much.
Hope to see you on Saturday 6th July at 3:30pm. Bring a friend !
P.S. Our Holiday Club takes place in August. Click here for more details.
New Service – 11am
We’re please to announce our new, informal service for the whole family, from Sunday 9th June at 11am.
As previously announced, the congregation from Cornwell Community Church are joining us to start this new service.
It’ll be the same time as Cornwell (11.00 am), with the same style of service (very informal), the same group of people (all ages, with several young people in our music group), the same great music and the same refreshments (fresh coffee and cakes).
As before we aim to make our service accessible for everyone and we are accepting and understanding of people with special needs.
We hope to see you there !
Messy Church : Birthday Party – Saturday 1st June
You are invited to Messy Church – Birthday party !

Hope to see you on Saturday 1st June at 3:30pm. Bring a friend !
Thy Kingdom Come
Thy Kingdom Come is a worldwide prayer initiative for the 10 days between Ascension and Pentecost (May 30th – June 9th).
Our ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ initiative will be launching with Ascension Day Holy Communion at 8.00 pm on Thursday May 30th, followed by 24 hours of prayer from 6.00 am on Friday 31 May to 6.00 am on Saturday morning, 1st June.
The Garden Room will be open with visual aids and prayer resources.
New Service Time – 9:15 am
A reminder that as of Sunday May 19th, the main Sunday morning service will start at 9:15am rather than 9:30am.
This will allow time to get used to changes in preparation for the additional new service starting at 11am from Pentecost Sunday (June 9th).
Christian Aid Week – Sunday 12th May
To start Christian Aid week we are being joined by a speaker from Christian Aid at our 9:30 service this Sunday.

We hope that you can join us at St Catherine’s this Saturday (May 4th) at 3:30pm. Bring a friend !
