SLINGSBY ADVENTURE CLUB  is celebrating it’s 40th Anniversary this year.  It is 40 years since we had a Cliff College Mission in Slingsby and one of the things we started was Adventure Club.

Over the years many children from Slingsby and surrounding villages have attended.  The programmes have varied but there has usually been some singing , Bible stories, lots of games, craft and drama etc.  We are so grateful to all the adults who have come and helped lead The Club over so many years.  There is no doubt it has been a great success.
Contacts are Louise Hayes 01653-628064, Rachel Prest 01653-628277 or Becky Ward on 07933350189

PRAYER  INITIATIVE.
We have thought for some time that our prayer life at Slingsby Methodist Church needed re-invigorating.  To this end we propose the following…

1.  We are putting a letter box outside the door to the Methodist Schoolroom for PRAYER REQUESTS.  If you have concerns or people you would like us to pray for please put your requests in the prayer box and we will collect them 3 times a week and make sure they are prayed for.  You can leave the anonymously or put your contact details if you want someone to talk to or to COME and pray with you.
2.  The Wednesday Fellowship Group are holding a study series on “Prayer” beginning on Wednesday evenings at 7-30pm at Rachel & Stephen Prest’s home and on alternate fortnights at Geoff & Karen Bishop’s home.  All welcome. Contact Stephen on 628277.
3.  After our Sunday  services on the third Sunday of the month  an opportunity will be given for anyone to request prayers for themselves or someone else.
