‘St John’s has Talent 2010’ If you wish to perform please let Pete know today so we can finalise our line up. All talents, ages and abilities welcome. Please consider this event, as it has the potential to be a great night’s entertainment for the church, as well as raising funds for both Focus and the Building Fund.
Wacky Weds/OurSpace/Focus: could all those who have not completed a parental consent form please get the forms in at the next available opportunity. Thanks!
Connect: This is an exciting opportunity with a lot of potential. However, it needs enough volunteers each week to ensure it runs smoothly. If you feel you could help please contact Pete.
Existing Volunteers: could all those who are currently assisting at Wacky Weds, OurSpace and Focus return their Access NI forms as a matter of urgency. They should be given to Ross Irvine, with appropriate proofs of identification, because only he can check them and we can then get them processed. If there are any problems don’t hesitate to contact Pete or Ross.
GLU: Prayer leaflets for GLU can be found in the porches and in the Foyer. Please take one and remember GLU in prayer as plans are put into place and the excitement builds.
