WELCOME Especially, if this is your first time here, we want you to know that you’re very welcome. Children’s Church memory verse for May A handy reminder of Children’s Church memory verse this month: Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No-one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6 Whether church is a familiar place or not – you can relax and just be yourself. We’re so glad you’re here. Exam time Many of our students will be studying for and sitting exams this month. Please remember them very especially in your prayers. Please let us know if there’s any way we can serve or help you.
