Every summer the churches in St Andrews come together to hold a Holiday Club. This is always a lot of fun involving bible stories, songs, games, crafts and challenges. This year’s holiday club will run in the mornings from Tuesday 12th until Friday 15th August. If you would be interested in volunteering or would like more information please speak to Jenny or email jenny@standrewsbaptist.org.uk.
In July and August creche will be set up each week in the room downstairs during the morning service. Parents will be responsible for their own children while they are in creche. A rota with volunteers for creche will start again in September.
Helen, our office admin, will be on annual leave 12-21/07/25. Please make sure to send all notices to bulletin@standrewsbaptist.org.uk for inclusion in the bulletin and weekend email.
For young adults: Some of you have been a part of the postgrad group at church that’s now wrapped up, but there are a number of us hoping and planning to continue to meet together as a community and as a new group. We hope to have food, socials, bible study, worship and prayer, and do life together.
To that end, there’s been some chat of doing some social things over the course of the summer to get some momentum going, with a view of starting to meet more regularly as the school term begins again in August. For now, we thought it might be fun to just have a hangout. Get in touch with the Mills or the Wangs if you might be interested.
PRAYER ITEM FOR JULY:
Each day or each week, read the passage from Matthew 9:35-38 below. Allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you and then pray as He leads you. Pray as you think about the focus of our church this year – Joining Jesus in His Mission. Call to mind and pray for current events or peoples in our world.
“35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field”.
The morning service starts at 10am, in-person and online, and includes crèche and Beacons Kids’ provision. The evening service starts at 6:30pm.
Items for the bulletin: Items for the bulletin should be emailed to bulletin@standrewsbaptist.org.uk (or leave a message on the church answer machine, 01334 472285) (by Wednesday 6pm)
