You may have noticed that a pew has been moved in Busbridge Church; this is the first of the pews to be removed in relation to the reordering. The sample pew will be on display in various locations over the next few weeks. We will be selling the pews after Easter. More information coming soon.

We’re looking for someone to support the Ichthus leaders in Feb/March when a couple of the leaders are not around. We need two adults present so if you could help out in The Hut on a Tuesday or Sunday evening please speak to Simon Taylor or Niki Ford in the next few days. Exceptional ability to make superb hot drinks is a must!

Calling anyone who has a ‘teen’ aged 11-19 (Pathfinders, Unplugged, Ichthus age). We’re holding a one off meeting of all leaders in this age group on 28th February, Old Rectory 8.00pm - 9.00pm. We’re inviting any parents to come along who are deeply interested in helping us see this age group flourish in faith. And for anyone not involved (maybe newer to the church?) but you have a burning heart to get involved week by week and see revival of worship, community and faith with 11-19s, please come along too. We’ll look back, forwards and pray for the future as well as look at what we are called to be doing.

On Monday 11th February 2.00pm at the Old Rectory there’ll be a ‘Tea & Talk’ event with Prime Time Co-ordinator Penny Naylor. Penny will explain about her role as a Dementia Friends Champion and the steps that BHC are taking to be recognised as a ‘Dementia Friendly’ organisation. Penny will be leading a Dementia Friends session as part of this event and the afternoon will be rounded off with a time to chat over tea & cake. All welcome – no need to be on the Prime Time mailing list in order to attend. For further details contact the Prime Time Team at the Church Office or email primetime@bhcgodalming.org.

The next Marriage Preparation Course is on Saturday 9th March at Clock Barn Hall and we are excited that 12 couples are signed up for this one-day course. The team need offers of help with either the welcome or as a support couple looking after the couples on the day. We also  need volunteers who can help prepare and serve the buffet lunch and/or clean up afterwards anytime between 11.30am - 2:30pm. If you’d like to help, please contact Debbie Jones on 07712 893318.

Our next Newcomers’ afternoon tea is on Sunday 24th March 3.00 - 4.00pm. We need to have an idea of numbers, so if you’d like to come along (children welcome and activities provided for them) then please email newcomers@bhcgodalming.org.
