FOOTSTEPS Toddler Group – journeying to Jesus St Martin’s Church has started a Christian Baby and Toddler group.  It will run on the first and third Mondays of the month, from 10 a.m. – midday in Exning Community Church Hall.  The next session will be on Monday 20th January.  Sarah Price exningfootsteps@gmail.com

One of the most powerful ways to pray for children is to use scripture.  Because the Bible is the living word of God, you can Pray His Word back to him. Pray for chidren by name (if known) asking that they will grow: in wisdom (the mind); in stature (physically); in favour with God (spiritually) and in favour with man (socially). 'Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man' Luke 2:52  Please continue to pray for Footsteps.  Thanks, Sarah


TIME FOR TEA AND FRIENDSHIP.   Held at EXNING COMMUNITY CHURCH HALL. For more information, please contact Christine Pearce. 01638 664314.  Our next meeting is Monday 20th January 2025. 

 

PLEASE WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO JOIN THE COFFEE ROTA ON A SUNDAY AT ST MARTIN’S?  We need people to serve coffee/tea and biscuits following the 11.00 a.m. Service.   Tea, coffee, sugar are provided but you are asked to bring a couple of packets of biscuits and some milk.  (Any remaining milk and biscuits should be taken home following the service, as we are unable to safely keep food items in the cold, damp conditions of the church building.)  Your help would be greatly valued in continuing to provide this opportunity to gather and socialise after the services but we need more help to lighten the load.   The rota can be found on the Coffee serving table.  With thanks for your consideration.  Christine Pearce.
