    IMPORTANT UPDATE – Corsham Christmas outreach event – Sat 7th Dec 11am
    Due to predicted strong winds and heavy rain tomorrow, the Trustees have decided to scale back the outreach event in Corsham town centre so volunteers are no longer needed. Please continue to pray that we will still meet people in our community tomorrow, to share the joy of the birth of Jesus.

    Junior Church – urgent help needed
    We are urgently looking for two more teachers to join the Junior Church team to support the important ministry and share the Gospel and your love of Jesus with our church children.
    The children are God’s next generation to pass on the Word to, we want to provide those firm foundations and truths for these precious lives and to encourage them in their faith journey with Jesus. 
    Please prayerfully consider if you can help us, even if once every 6-8 weeks, you will be such a blessing to the team and children.  If this is something you can consider, please follow this link

    Updating information for children in junior church
    In the coming weeks,  we will be asking your children to fill in an information sheet about themselves, asking them about what they enjoy in junior church,  the activities they enjoy and any things they find difficult.  This will be done during the junior church sessions. The aim is to use the information in order to help the teachers and leaders plan and deliver the junior church sessions more effectively. There will be a couple of questions for parents to answer too.  We appreciate the time taken to complete these forms and anticipate them to be beneficial to everyone in junior church.  If you have any questions regarding the information sheets,  please speak to Rhiannon or email: childrensworker@corshambaptists.org

    We’d love to invite you or perhaps someone you know to join our next Christianity Explored course where we will explore more about the life of Jesus.

You will have the opportunity to ask any questions and share your thoughts with the group in a relaxed and informal setting. We will meet for 7 weeks and each week we’ll share a meal together, read a bit of the Bible, hear a short talk and have a chat based on the talk. Please share this with friends, family, neighbours and colleagues who you think may be interested in joining us. Please speak to Adam if you’d like to join us adamj@corshambaptists.org
