JAM club update: we are using the new city catechism as the basis of each JAM club session this term . It is a great tool for learning Christian doctrine that the whole church family can use. Find out more athttp://newcitycatechism.comWe have also set an Autumn Challenge for the children: to learn the books of the bible in order - Old and New Testament if possible - by 10th December (last JAM of the year) Please help your children with this at home, there will be prizes!

who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
