TINY TOTS We meet in the Church on Thursdays at 2pm for about half an hour. It is suitable for adults with pre-school children. We sing songs (usually to nursery rhymes, simple tunes or tunes the children will know, often with loud percussion!!), we have an activity or story, based on a very simple Christian theme and we finish with a drink and a biscuit. Tiny Tots is a good way for children and adults to meet and talk. There is no charge but a voluntary collection is taken. Enquiries via email: sharpeblackhorse@aol.com or just turn up. You will be made very welcome and will soon join in!
RAINBOWS CLUB we are open on a wednesday from 9.15am to 11.45am. (10am-12pm from September 2005) Click here for more info.
THE PRAYER GROUP For many years there has been a small prayer group, meeting in church, on a Friday Morning at 11.00am. Regularly there are between 6 - 8 people who attend, and we share our prayers for those people known to us locally, mainly from our prayer board at the back of church. Sometimes our thoughts and prayers go "out of the village" to include family and friends who need them. The prayer board is for all, and we hope anyone will feel free to use it to bring to our attention those who could benefit from prayers, (or perhaps a situation that is causing concern). The meeting is intended to be social, friendly, as well as for bringing serious issues to prayer. Sometimes we have a hymn or a song and a short reading. If you are interested, and would like to join us, we will be pleased to see you, and you will be made very welcome. Items For Prayer can be given in confidence to the Rector on 01455-822276 or they may be posted on the prayer board or you can email: sharpeblackhorse@aol.com
