Our Jam ministries update.

Jam ministries (Jesus And Me) resumed on November 2nd after their mid-term break.

Jam Tots meet Fridays at 10am. in the Church Room, attached to the Church.

Jam Club meet at Iver Heath Scout Hut in St Margaret's Close on Fridays at 5pm. Jam Club is for children rising 5 (the term of their 5th birthday) to 7 years old. Our meetings include stories, songs, games, crafts and sometimes drama!

Jam Café is a new ministry giving young families an informal church experience on Sundays at 4 pm in the Church room. Our first Jam Café event in July was very well attended and we look forward to welcoming new families to share the experience on Sunday 18th November at 4pm. Jam Café features opportunities for parents and children to meet friends, have delicious eats, and food for the soul from God's Word for today!

Rebuilding - the Nehemiah Project

A series of Bible studies on lessons from the Book of Nehemiah on re-building God's Church starts Wednesday 31st October and runs through November.

Wednesdays at 8 p.m. at St Margaret's Church Room.

Our Organist is Retiring

Chris Daubney, our organist since 2012, is retiring at the end of this month.

Chris has made an invaluable contribution to our church over the last six years, working untold extra hours to train our choir and even arranging an appearance for them on TV last Christmas!

We wish Chris a long and happy retirement!

At the time of writing we are advertising for a new organist and are processing expressions of interest. Maybe we'll have some good news for you next month. Keep praying!

Creche on Sundays

We are now providing a creche at the 10 am. service on Sundays, but not yet every week!

We need more volunteers to help run the creche - leaders have to be DBS-checked

and do safeguarding training.

If you are able to help please contact us!

Sponsored walkers raised over £700 for St Margarets

Walkers on our sponsored walk at the end of September raised over £700 for St. Margaret's on their walk to Runnymede and back. It was a beautiful autumn morning and the walkers had great fun.

Thanks to you all !

We plan to run a similar event next year!

Helping Slough Foodbank

Twice a month we deliver donated essential food items to the Slough Foodbank for those who are in need. Stan & Sue Smith kindly deliver the crates of donations. A list of currently needed items is posted on the noticeboard in the Church annexe and we welcome your donations.

Giving to the poor is at the heart of the Christian gospel.

The Bible says that ‘God loves the one who gives gladly' (2 Corinthians 9: 7).
