Drop-In Coffee Morning
We have been meeting on Tuesday mornings since early 1997. Our aim is to do our part in extending Christ Church’s warm welcome to neighbours and friends, so everyone is welcome to come for coffee or tea and cakes. It’s a very informal time to drop in for a chat, or to stay a little longer to meet friends and make new ones.
As well as enjoying each other’s company we have been able to donate to local charities. If you would like to join us, do drop in on a Tuesday morning between 10am and 12 noon. You will be more than welcome.
These Tuesday mornings have been run by Angela and Peter Gambling and Joyce and Tom Fitch over this time and we have all set up and run the "Drop-in" between us, only missing when we are on holiday. Tom and Joyce would rather like to now take a back seat in running these mornings, and wonder if there are any folks that would be willing to take our place on a rota basis. We are delighted to say that one couple have offered their services, but we need more. If any one feels they would like to help with this service we would be pleased to hear from you

Tiddlers @ Christ Church
Marshmallows and the desert! Icing biscuits and a wedding! The Feast of Flat Bread!
We have been exploring ‘Food and Drink’ in the bible this year. Using marshmallows and some other very sticky ingredients we made our own manna and found how God provided his people with food in the desert, and how He provides us with so much today. Tiddlers met on Valentine’s Day and iced heart biscuits and remembered Jesus’ love and power when he changed the water into wine at the wedding.
Come and join us on:
Tiddlers: for children under 5 and their carers, doing church in the way they do best! @ Christ Church, Perry St. Starts at 2pm with refreshments & play, finishing at 2.40

 Coming Alive
Our after school club for 5-11s meets once a month on the Friday before our Family Service, 2nd or 3rd Friday of the month, 3.15-4.45pm in the main hall. Where did the name come from?
At our holiday club a few years ago we wanted an after school club and asked the children for a name. Coming Alive was born.
We have fun playing games, crafts, sometimes cooking, singing, learning about God through all of this.
Over the past year we have been going down Luke Street using Scripture Union’s Streetwise pack. We visited houses mentioned in Luke’s Gospel to find out why Jesus went there and what happened when he did!
Please contact Angela Wood at Christ Church for a registration form or further information.
Future Coming Alive dates are as follows: 16th May
Coming Alive Cell
Cell is a smaller group for youngsters in years 5 & 6. We meet on the last Friday of the month in the Atrium, straight after school until 4.45pm.
As this is a smaller group we can study more in depth but still have fun being creative. Interested? Contact Angela Wood or Lynne Woodland.
Next Coming Alive Cell:(for years 5 & 6) usually the last Friday of the month

Pathfinders (11-14s)
We meet with our 11-14’s young people several times a week. Fridays is Shaken Up and our open youth club, we have play stations, pool, table tennis. It’s a chilled out cafe style atmosphere where we serve non alcoholic cocktails and just for the winter months hot chocolate with marshmallows, it goes down a treat! Once a month we have Orange Fridays film night, and we also have some creative making things nights.
Sundays is our opportunity to go a little deeper with God, so three out of the four sunday mornings are spent first in the wider church service and then in the smaller group called Pathfinders
