Below we list key fund raising activities and events that are scheduled to take place over the coming month. We also list our Church service activities;  Further details of these events can be seen on our Calendar of Key Events & Dates page. 

We’re a busy group, which means that things do change frequently, so it’s a good idea to take a look on our Calendar of Key Events & Dates page as often as possible to keep up to date.  You will also find further details and other useful information in the 'Team Talk' Magazine.

PATHFINDERS (young people aged 11+)

Messy-Kids.jpg

Messy Church -  Will take place 4 p.m. on Sunday 19th February 2012. Although the programme is aimed at families, everyone is very welcome.

We need your Help......
Are you able to help? More people are needed to prepare crafts for MESSY CHURCH which takes place on the 3rd Sunday of each month (4 - 6 p.m.). We offer six different craft activities and we will provide all materials and instructions well in advance so that you have plenty of time to prepare. You will need to make a sample and, if necessary, do some advance preparation for children to make the craft.

If you are also able to come to MESSY CHURCH and "present" the craft that would be great, but if that is not possible the advance preparation is still most helpful. You don't have to commit every month, but simply let us know when you are available. 
 

It can be quite therapeutic preparing craft activities and it is possible to prepare and watch television at the same time (multi-tasking!). 
If you are unable to prepare a craft, but would like to come to MESSY CHURCH and get involved, you can always help the children make a craft. And there are always babies to hold whilst parents help with older children.

See contacts page if you want to get in touch or e-mail john.frost@o2email.co.uk

Bible Study - 1st, 8th & 15th February 2012
 
Our Bible Study group meets in Longstanton on a Wednesday at 8 p.m. This is an excellent opportunity to meet together informally to look at what the Bible has to teach us about God and the way we should live as Christians.
 

All are welcome, especially anyone who has not attended before. Have a word with Malcolm or one of the churchwardens for further details.

Mini-Jaffas.jpg

Mini-Jaffas & Pram Service

These meetings are for parents with pre-school children. Mini-Jaffas meet in All Saints' Church Longstanton at 10.30 a.m. on the following dates: 


7th, 21st & 28th February 2012 


A short informal time of worship is followed by craft activities, related to the theme and refreshments. 

This is an excellent way of introducing young children to worship, as well as being a good way of meeting other parents. Those who have had their children baptised will find this a great way of keeping their baptismal promises. 
Just turn up and you will be guaranteed a warm welcome at either venue.
