Harvest 2025

Children and Young People from S Club were asked to bring along items of fruit or vegetables which were put into a basket on display at the front of the church along with seeds and leaves.  Both S Club and the congregation also brought forward items during the service to donate to Food Bank creating a large harvest display.  Seed pictures were displayed on the pillars in church.

Annual treat at GoBowling

Our S Club Annual Treat took place in April this year with a trip to GObowling with a team of girls competing against a team of boys.  Everyone tried their best to get high scores with the boys team just coming out on top.  This was followed by pizza, chips and ice cream back at the church.  The afternoon was a resounding success.

brownies 4

Tuesday 6 - 7.30pm

Brownies is our section for girls aged seven to ten.

This group is not currently running, but we've kept the information here, in case it starts up again.

Through regular meetings, special events, day trips, sleepovers and holidays, Brownies learn new hobbies, play music, explore other cultures and get adventurous outdoors. Girls can also extend their knowledge and abilities by working towards Brownie interest badges covering many different hobbies and activities from Science investigator to Circus skills.

Brownies become a member of a Six, a unit with a name such as Badger, Fox, Mole, Squirrel, Hedgehog or Rabbit, and follow a programme called the Brownie Adventure. The name reflects the world of exciting opportunities, challenges and fun ‘THAT IS BROWNIES’.

Our Brownie Pack is run by dedicated volunteers, Leaders, Assistant Leaders and Young Leaders who give their time to see girls enjoy events and activities that they have organised.
