We were blessed to share in the dedication of baby Isabelle, daughter of Isaiah and Victoria last Sunday.

In Messy Church today we learnt about Elijah and how God took care of him when there was a drought, even sending food to him by some ravens. He also provided flour and oil miraculously when God told him to visit a widow who would care for him. We had lots of fun with our crafts especially making our own raven with real feathers and our singing in worship was the best ever. We had a delicious supper with cottage pie and ice creams.

We say thank to everyone who works so hard to make our Messy Church event such fun.

Today we celebrate the life of our wonderful friend Chris Woodage who sadly passed away suddenly a few weeks back.

Chris was a hugely loved member of our church, a regular member of the foodbank team and involved in many other aspects of our church life. He will be hugely missed.

If you knew Chris and would like to pay your respects you would be very welcome at the Portchester crematorium TODAY at 3pm. If you are unable to be there, you are very warmly invited to leave a message on his memorial page which is posted below.

Our love and prayers are with family at this time and all the many friends he was dearly loved by.

Remembering good times

Today we were out for our last session of OWT (‘Out With Toddlers’ but in fact we had all ages and it was good to build new friendships). Another hot day where we shared how God made all the animals and God made us!

We wish all the children and young people who we’ve met a good return to school…. Especially praying for those starting school for the first time or starting new schools 🥰🙏

Last week six of our ‘younger’ young people (Dixon, Joshua, Thomas, Robel, Tilly and Tallulah) attended the kid’s summer camp run by the Salvation Army and held at the Moorlands Bible College near Christchurch in Dorset.

Another fantastic week was had where they shared in drama, art, puppets, sport, dance, multimedia and so much more with fantastic teaching and fun led everyday by a great staff team.

The theme was ‘I am incredible’ and based on Psalm 139 which reminds us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made in the eyes of God. We know each of our young people are incredible and we have lots to learn from them!

It was also great to see two of our older young people Abi and Anna as two of the five young leaders on the team for the week too. Well done everyone!

Be sure to ask the young people the reasons why they are incredible 🎉 when you see them!

Our first summer OWT (outside with toddlers) session was a great success. It was lovely to see returning families to the Quad behind the Army, as well as meeting new contacts - and we celebrate the many children who engaged with the activities…..sticking, stapling, singing, playing, drawing, scavenging and parachuting - all celebrating God’s beautiful creation! 😎

Thanks to all the team who went out and shared and chatted with the children and their families on an exceptionally hot day! ☀️🥵☀️

Six of our lovely young people attended the ‘Encounter’ camp at Moorlands college this past week.. Abi, Alice, Anna, Gabby, Heleena and Kaitlyn - and Katie on the staff. Sounds like they had an amazing time! Make sure you catch up with them and ask them to tell you more!
