Bi-annual conference

European Christian Mission has a big conference (called the Bi-Annual) for all their missionaries every second year and this conference is coming up very soon. The conference takes place in mainland europe as most of the missionaries are based there, this year it is in Umag,Croatia (you will see it marked on the map at the top left). The conference goes on for a week and from what I hear it will be a busy week, it is not a holiday, saying that I am going to have a few days of a holiday in Venice before the conference starts! Please pray the conference goes well and that it is a fun and encouraging time as well as learning time,
thanks charis x

Happy Mothers day!

                                           Happy Mother's day to all the mother's out there! 

In club this week we decorated peg bags for mother's day gifts.  Believe it or not the last club of the term is coming up this Wednesday, we have been doing a series on the life,death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus. This coming week we hope to finish the series by watching part of the Jesus movie for kids (we watched the beginning already). Please pray this movie and series will impact the kids lives. Thanks Charis x

Saint Patrick's day!

Thanks to you all for your prayers for our church face painting/outreach last Monday, it was a cold but dry day and we were all very encouraged by the reception we got. We gave out 175 saint patrick's day tracts (kids ones) and I don't know how many faces we painted but we did quite a few!!!

all set up and ready to go

Face painting!

We are going to do some face painting (just shamrocks and flags) at the local parade on Monday, nothing as fancy as in this picture!! We also have some nice kids tracts about Saint Patrick to give out. We hope to raise the profile of the church in the town (it is a start) Please pray!! Pray that we are received well, that the spot we work in is a good one, that the others who hope to come and help do come and that the tracts will be read and received well too thanks charis x 

Saint Patrick's day

This Monday is Saint Patrick's day, so we will be having a saint Patrick themed club today!

Patrick was a real and true christian and there is a lot we can learn from him and teach from his life. 

Club is changing time today from 3:15 to 4pm and it is for an hour not 1hr 15. Why the change? a lot of the kids who come to club have athletics on till 3:30 (it just started back last week and we noticed a lot of kids were missing) so we are trying this new time to see if it works, please pray for the kids to come at this new time.

We have 2 new helpers starting at club today!!! Please pray they get on well, one girl is from church and can come due to the later time and another girl is from a different church. 

Thanks for your continued prayers charis x
