Prayer walk tomorrow morning around Rudloe (Sat 2nd)

Please join us tomorrow morning for a prayer walk around Rudloe, focusing on our plans for the new works in Corsham & Rudloe/Neston. We will set off from Broadwood School car park at 8.30am.

A Little Update – Sunday 3rd Sept at 5pm

We encourage you to join us on Sunday evening as we hear from Stuart and Lynne Little about their ministry on Mercy Ships – come and find out what life is like on board ship, what they’re doing now and what their future plans are. We’ll start with refreshments and cakes at 5pm followed by the Littles’ presentation at 6pm with worship and opportunities to pray for them. If you’re able to provide cakes or biscuits please let Wendy R know.

Pray for mission & the persecuted Church – Tues 5th September

There’s another opportunity to learn about CBC’s mission partners and pray for their needs at our monthly mission prayer meeting next Tuesday. It will be held on Zoom (details below) from 8pm.

Can you help with Junior Church?

We’re so grateful to those who give their time to teach and help our children in Junior Church. But it’s a small team and we need some additional willing volunteers to help. You don’t necessarily have to teach and it won’t be every Sunday. Some ways in which you can help are: register the children, help with craft activities, keep children safe, set up and tidy away. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. Have a chat with Vicki Kelly if you have any questions and, if you feel you can serve in this way, please complete the form here so that the necessary safeguarding checks can be done. Thank you!

Can you help with Toddlers?

Our Toddlers group is a brilliant way to get to know Mums (and Dads) and their children and is frequently over-subscribed – up to 80 people come along each week! That is fantastic but, as you can imagine, it brings with it various needs, most urgently in the form of people to join the team. You don’t have to commit to helping every week – just whenever you are able to. There are lots of jobs that need doing, from helping set up on a Wednesday evening, to doing refreshments, chatting to people, helping with the singing (which can just be standing at the back to make sure there are no ‘escapees’!) and helping to tidy away afterwards.

While it is wonderful to have so many people wanting to come, the stark reality is that if two or more of the current team are unable to come one week, we will have to restrict numbers or even cancel the session. We really want to avoid this as it is such a great way to serve our community with the love of Jesus. If you can help please talk to Sue Williams, Julie King, Roz Taylor or email the office on office@corshambaptists.org.
