All-Age Services On the first Sunday of the month there is an All-Age service in church (and no Breakfast Club). There is a crèche area in church if you need to use it (the Lady Chapel); it’s sound-proofed and has a speaker so you can listen to the service while the children play. Sometimes this room has informal supervision, but children remain their parents’ responsibility at all times. Oasis (0-5yrs) and Oasis Plus (5-11yrs) Informal worship and teaching for children. Meets in church on (usually) the first Monday of the month at 2:30 or 3:30. Tel Jan for info: 01454 415280. Oasis Extra is a group for 11-to-14-year-olds wanting to find out more about Jesus and being a Christian today. Activities, guest speakers, outings… Meets on Sundays in the Church Rooms, 4-5:30pm. It is also a preparation for Confirmation (for those interested). Contact Philip Rowe or Jan Cooper for more information.	News and updates….
