For children today, the internet is an important part of life. Their virtual world can feel as real as the physical world all around us.
Most young people use the internet every day. They talk to their friends, play games and learn about the world. For many parents it’s hard to keep their children off their phones or computers- which can be a concern, particularly as there is a darker side to the internet.

Young people can be vulnerable to online grooming, where they are targeted by adults online. This is often to exploit them sexually or criminally.

It’s important that everyone understands the risks young people can face online and what to look out for. Read our article to find out more.

When it comes to keeping young people safe, we can all be part of the solution.

Thank you for your continued support.

We are delighted to let you know that the Christmas Tree Festival will be back in church this year, with the necessary Covid-19 safeguards.  As in past years, we will have a gift stall, so if you have any unwanted Christmas or birthday gifts, please think about donating them to our stall.  The more gifts we have to sell, the more money we collect for Age UK, our nominated charity, and the church.  A box will be left in the porch for your donations.  We would love it if you would also think about displaying a tree.  The Festival gives people who wouldn't normally attend, the opportunity to visit our beautiful church.  Finally, if you feel able to help, either setting up on the Friday, serving refreshments or meeting and greeting over the weekend, please let one of the committee members know.  We will then draw up a timed rota for you to add your name. Many thanks. CTF Committee. (Margaret Holman, Sarah Stott, Sarah Allison, Ronnie Todd)

For many years this church has had a connection with Mother's Union. Before the pandemic there was a group which used to meet. Karen Forster-Pearce is looking at restarting this group with a look to a Team Mother's Union which meets with members from all 3 churches. If you would be interested in being part of this then please have a chat with Karen. Thank you.

We are looking for two more Parents to be able to help with the running of Sunday Club on a 2nd or 4th Sunday. You would not necessarily have to lead sessions but be there to encourage and help our young people in growing and developing their faith.

If this a way that you think you may be able to help and serve the Church then please have a chat with either Revd. Andy (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.), or speak to Tamar or Michele after the service as we would be keen to hear from you. 

A DBS check would be required but this can be set up for you
