LENT AT ST MARY’S AND ST JOHN’S
During Lent this year we will be engaging in a whole-church programme called 40 Days of Prayer. This will include Sunday teaching through sermons, and also midweek sessions which we will be encouraging everyone in small groups to attend in place of normal small group meetings.

The course will run for 6 weeks at St John's Church ( Postcode SS16 6RX)

There are signup sheets at both Churches or you can contact our Parish Administrator Nikki -  Email stjohnsca@gmail.com or phone  07720 08926

Daytime sessions start Tuesday 13^th Feb @ 12.15pm tea/coffee for 12.30pm start
Evening sessions start Thursday 15^th Feb @ 7.15pm tea/coffee for 7.30 start

To get the most out of the programme we are encouraging everyone to purchase a 40 Days of Prayer workbook, which contains everything you will need for the programme, including the study guide for each small group session, daily prayer prompts, space for weekly sermon notes, and suggestions for further study. The workbook costs £12 and we will be placing a bulk order soon. If you would like to purchase a workbook, please let Nikki Hall or your small group leader know, including how you would prefer to pay. Payment can be made online direct to the church bank account, for which the details are as follows:

Account name: PCC of LANGDON HILLS
Sort code: 20-04-96
Account number: 40691690
Reference: LENT+your name

This is the preferred method, but you can pay by cash on Sundays if paying online is not possible for you. If you’d like a copy but the cost would be difficult for you, please speak to Jeremy in confidence.

We will also be creating a prayer room in the chapel at St John’s for anyone to spend time in during Lent.  40 Days of Prayer will be a great opportunity for all of us to deepen our prayer life during Lent, so we’d encourage everyone to engage in the programme in every way possible.

NexGen, a free kids club for 7 to 11 year olds has now started at St John’s!

The club will run from 6pm - 8pm on the last Saturday of each month, next club is on Saturday 28th September.

Club evenings will involve structured activities, games, crafts and more for the kids to enjoy, have fun and make new friends.

There will be a tuck shop for the children, and tea and coffee for parents if they choose to stay while the club is running.

If you would like more information or would like to register your child, please feel free to talk to Kate or Keith on Sundays or contact Church Administrator Nikki.

Registration forms and a sign up list are also available at both churches on Sundays.

You can also email Kate and Keith directly – nexgenkidsclub@gmail.com
