Coming Up
Here are the key things we’d love for you to highlight with your Group.
The Light Party
4:30pm • Thursday 31st October • In Church
The Light Party is coming, and we can’t wait! This year we’ve got an ‘Under the Sea’ theme!
It promises to be a brilliant time for kids and families to have fun together, with lots of different game stations, prizes to be won, plenty of sweets and a special guest appearance!
Our light party is aimed at primary school aged kids, and fancy dress is optional, so get inviting! Alternatively, would you or anybody in your Group like to get involved on Crew? Then get in touch!
Book on for Baycation!
Bookings close 30th November
Baycation is our church weekend retreat, taking place March 7th - 9th 2025 at the Manor Resort in Okehampton! It will be an incredible opportunity to gather back together after a season of two services, a chance to celebrate all God is doing and to grow together as a church through worship and teaching; as well as to eat well, play hard and forge incredible friendships.
Bookings close at the end of November, so please do make sure you and your group members are booked on to avoid disappointment!
Help us decorate for the Light Party!
7:00pm - 9:00pm • Wednesday 30th October • In Church
Come and help us be a blessing to the children and families of the Bay, by getting the Church building ready for the Light Party!
We’ll be decorating and setting up on the evening of Wednesday 30th October. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! Get in touch with Mollie if you or anybody in your Group is about to help. Thank you!
