Visitors are of course welcome to stay with their children for a while to help
them settle. Epic Sundays take place in the hall adjoining the chapel.
Parents can meet up with their children again at the end of the adults' meeting
(except on Sundays when there is Holy Communion towards the end of the
adults' meeting; on those days, we make an announcement asking parents to
go and fetch their children and bring them back into the chapel).
There is also a varied programme of activities throughout the week
for adults, young people and children.

Epic Sundays, our special meeting for children aged 0-11, usually takes
place during all our Sunday morning 3C adults' meetings. The children meet
with the adults initially in the chapel and then leave with their Epic Sundays
children's workers part-way through the service.
announcing 3C’s very special
summer children’s programme!
This month, 3C Community Church is teaming up
with Christian organisation iSingPOP to run an exciting
programme of workshops in schools, a community-based
holiday club and even a special grand finale
performance at 3C.
Scan with your
smart phone
iSingPOP’s young, enthusiastic and talented team will teach pop songs and
dance moves to children. And with the songs based on Christian values, children
will be introduced to the good news of the gospel, too.

children’s summer holiday club
Cont.. from front page
The programme starts with iSingPOP running workshops in Woodfield
infant and junior schools as the summer term draws to a close. Then
during the holidays (Monday 20th – Friday 24th July), the holiday club takes
place in nearby Woodfield youth and community centre.
Whilst learning the songs, the children will also be entertained with crafts
and games – and there’s a professional mobile recording studio arriving on
the Thursday of the holiday club week to record the children so they can
make their very own CDs.
“This wonderful week will come to a close with a concert at the 3C building,
where parents will be treated to a performance and refreshments,” says 3C’s
co-ordinator Kyle Aldridge. Anyone who wishes to be involved should contact
Kyle, who will be only too pleased to speak to you about it!
3C’s 2015 Grand Day Out takes place at
Beechenhurst Lodge, the large Forestry
Commission visitor site in the heart of the Forest
of Dean, on Saturday 18th July. With barbecue
space booked, space to relax and lots of free
fun on offer, it promises to be a great day. Our Grand Day Out is for anyone at
3C – and friends and family are of course very welcome, too.
See www.forestry.gov.uk/beechenhurst for full details of what’s there.
What time and where? We’ll be meeting up at Beechenhurst Lodge
from 11am. It’s near Cinderford at GL16 7EL.
How much? The car park costs £3.50. All trails and the large play area,
featuring a zip wire, are free. There is a café on the site. You can also pay
to use the climbing tower or enjoy an archery session, but you may need
to book in advance: www.forestofdeanadventure.co.uk
What shall I bring? Bring your own food, including things to cook on the
barbecue. There’s no need to take barbecue equipment because the
church has booked its own barbecue area and will provide all the
cooking equipment. If you want to go walking, bring suitable shoes or
boots…and if you fancy heading off on two wheels on the family cycle
trail, bring your own bike!
August @ 3C
After a busy June and July, 3C will be in mellow mood this
August! On Sunday 9th August, there is a family barbecue –
with one or two surprises – instead of our normal Sunday
service: more details to follow. And then on the last two
Sundays of the month, it’s the 3C Summer Break – with no Sunday services
planned, why not discuss with your community group leader how you can meet
with your 3C friends during that period. Note that on Sunday 2 nd and 9th August,
we’ll be holding our Sunday service as normal.
Skittles!
3C Women’s July meeting will be a skittles night on Thursday 16 th July. Venue tbc. There will be no 3C Women’s meeting in August.
Community Group Sunday
If you are a visitor here today, please make sure you pick up
a Welcome Pack from a member of the Welcome Team
‘Come with us and we will do you good!’ - Num 10 : 29
There’s no formal service at 3C on Sunday 26th July
because it is our Community Group Sunday when the
church meets instead at various locations in
community groups.
