K-Groups get Creative! - Various K-Groups have responded to recent studies creatively and the results are on a board at the back of church. Have a look at what they have come up with!
St Leonard's summer lectures - "A Good Work Well Done" is a Series of Talks exploring the lives, faith and influence of four strong twentieth century Christian women who have made a significant contribution to the world. Dorothy L. Sayers, Dame Cecily Saunders, Dame Henrietta Barnett and Mary Sumner. At 6:30pm every Sunday from June 15th to July 6th at St. Leonard’s church, Bengeo. More info at the back of church.
The Bowens in Burundi - We (Roger and Miranda) are leading a team to Matana in Burundi for 2 weeks at the end of July. This is an opportunity for us to take encouragement in the form of our presence, but also encouragement in the shape of financial gifts to those who are most in need of it. The group I am most concerned about are the orphans who are in families that are headed by their older siblings because all the adults have died. Many of these need financial support with schooling, health costs, school materials and housing. I realise that you may have many other pulls on the strings of your heart and your pocket, but if you were able to send us a small sum to take with us, it all adds up and would be ENORMOUSLY appreciated. The easiest way for me to manage your gifts would be a cheque made payable to Miranda Bowen, sent to us at our home address: The Outlook, Port Eynon, Swansea, SA3 1NL.
Quiz Night - Sunday 8th June 7:00-9:30pm, Christ Church Centre - Christian Cole is off to Mozambique shortly and would like to be able to take a gift of money to the orphanage where he'll be working this summer.

Help wanted! - For the young peoples celebration on Thursday 12th June we are planning a meal together while we look at Jesus as a servant. In order for us to do this we need some help with the food! Would you be able to provide a dish of lasagne? a bowl of salad? garlic bread? French bread? a desert? some grape juice? This is an excellent opportunity for our young people and we would love you to help us make it happen! If you can offer any help please speak to Louise or any of the young peoples ministry team or contact the church office.
