Men’s weekend away – booking now open!

This year’s Men’s Weekend Away will be at the YHA Llangattock Mountain Bunkhouse, Crickhowell. Set in the Brecon Beacons National Park, the accommodation offers doorstep access to ancient woodlands, rare marshland, wildflower meadows, and of course caves, cliffs and excellent mountain walks. The dates are Friday 20th to Sunday 22nd September with an option to stay until Monday morning at no extra cost. The cost is £85 per person (concessions available as required) – the priority is to have you there so please come and have a chat if funding is an issue.

Teaching will be by Mark Fossey, Senior Pastor at Redeemer Church in Croydon. Mark has been involved in church ministry and church planting for over 20 years in central and suburban London. He is a fan of football, jazz and burgers, in no particular order. There will also be plenty of food (chef duties ably supplied by our brother Tim Hogg), walks out, coffee in the local village, worship, and nightly fellowship around the fire-pit.

Junior church

We’re so grateful to all our teachers and helpers who serve in the Junior Church each week. As well as the weekly classes for ages 0-11, Dan Ovens runs a fortnightly group for secondary school-aged children (year 7+) that meets at 16 Arnolds Mead (out the back of the church building) during the morning service at Priory Street. The next dates for this group are 2nd, 16th and 30th June, and 14th July.

Thank you

Joan Long would like to pass on her thanks to all who helped her last Sunday morning, in practical ways and in prayer. She was embarrassed ‘to make a fuss’ but very grateful too.

Can you help?

Ruth is seeking the help of a volunteer or two to assist with the counting of the offerings received at Priory Street. It’s not an onerous task and won’t take long so if you’re able to offer some time every week or fortnight (preferably not on Sundays) please let Ruth know. Thanks.

Oasis Centre, Austria

CBC has supported Oasis for many years in its ministry of providing for refugees in practical and spiritual ways. The team at Oasis is small in number and they have requested prayer for God to send volunteers to translate the Bible message on Wednesday evenings, short-term workers (1-3 months) short-term volunteers and long-term workers. If you, or someone you know, is interested in serving short-term, please speak to Wendy Rowe.

Rudloe Community Centre – pledge form

Following the church meeting on 29th April and the need for further income to assess the viability of the Rudloe project, we are asking people to prayerfully consider increasing their giving or contributing time. The additional funds required equate to every member increasing their giving by £15-£20 per month. However, we recognise that for some this is not feasible, whilst others may be able to give more. If you are able to pledge additional monthly giving to the Church to help support the Rudloe project, or are able to contribute time, please complete the google form here (hard copies are available at church). Thank you in advance for your prayerful consideration. Note: this form is confidential and only seen by the treasurer.
