Come and take part.  All ages welcome.

Come to Holy Trinity Church by 12.30 on Sunday 7th January.  Filming will be finished by 1.30.  Just turn up!

Dress as you are (but no logos please).

Many thanks!

Additional Needs Group Seeks Volunteers

by

Due to the exciting growth of our group, anyone interested, ideally with experience of people with mild/moderate additional needs, who would be interested in helping the Gateway led, inter church group, please phone Steph on 07801304645. You will not be asked to lead but just be an extra body getting to know people.

Also more importantly, if you are DBS checked and willing to be an escort for current drivers, this is a pressing need. Please note you will always be with staff who are very familiar with our guys, this is purely for safeguarding. Either, or, or ideally both roles would be appreciated.

Gateways team has grown from 2 to 6 but due to physical preparation time being needed beforehand ( as the center is used for so many things on a Saturday we cannot access the building until an hour before) we really need more help. Please note you are welcome to commit to one month in every 4 or more often.

You will be needed from 3.30pm (to pick up) the group runs from 4-6.30 and you may sometimes be required to escort home too. Although the Gateway team currently manage to support with this, the group and its needs are growing, Praise the Lord. Please prayerfully consider if this may be a ministry God is calling you to support.  Thank you

Dear Fellow Church Leaders/Ministers/Eastbourne People

I hope you are all well and managing in this busy time of year.

A reminder that we have the Joint Carol singing this Saturday at Langney Shopping Centre starting at 10:30am.
Please could you encourage your folks, if they are free to come along and join in with other churches in the area to raise our voices in worship as we sing some Carols together.

We will be based next to the new British Heart Foundation shop, which is next to Windmills café inside the shopping centre, please can folks come in bright clothing and ready to bless our community.

We will have some folks from River of Life Church giving out sweets and flyers with details of local Christmas services previously sent out.

I hope to see you there.
I understand that there are other events on that morning, we will be praying they go well for you.
