Special meetings

 In addition to our regular meetings we do hold one-off events

and series of meetings.  Some of these are detailed here:

Alpha Course

Each autumn we hold an Alpha Course

 The Alpha Course is a

good place for people to

explore their questions

about the meaning of life -

and also to explore the

core teachings of Jesus. 

 Each week starts with a meal and conversation, includes a talk,

 and has plenty of room for discussion. 

This year the course is being held from Tuesday 18th

September at 7.00pm at Denmead Baptist Church, with a

'taster' meal and talk on Tuesday 11th September at 7.30pm. 

If you would like to come along then please Contact Us to

reserve your place.

 

DABS Summer Holiday Club

The Denmead Activity and

Bible School (DABS)

started in 1980 as a joint

exercise between the

Churches Together in

Denmead, and has grown

from strength to strength.  It now provides a Christian-ethos

summer holiday club for about 300 5-11 year olds and 24 12-13

year olds - combining singing, drama, teaching, small group

work, games, competition and lots of water - erm - fun!  If you

would like more details please Contact Us.

 

Past-Times - Holiday at Home

Churches Together in Denmead looked at providing a high-

quality 'holiday at home' experience for older people who would

 not normally get a summer holiday.  Combining high

quality 'nostalgia' events, games, songs with good food and

lively company ensured this event was a huge success.  This

years event is on 21st & 22nd August at All Saints Church.

If you would like more details please Contact Us.

 

Church Family Camp

Not for the faint-hearted,

nor just for 'families', but

enjoyed by the whole

church family!  Sunshine,

good company, good

beaches, gentle walks, a

BBQ - and an opportunity

to worship Jesus in a gazebo!  This is all about taking time to be

together in a relaxed atmosphere with space to do your own

thing or to join in with others. 

 

Day Out to Thorpe Park

It 2007 10 young people and 5 adults set out

for adventure and ice cream!  It ended in tears, crying, wailing

and the clenching together of teeth so hard they almost broke! 

 Of course, the wise amongst you expect that to happen on

roller-coasters but ignorant adults are prone to think they can

 cope with anything until they encounter rides like Stealth,

Inferno and Vortex!  3 of the adults were sensible, they drank

tea, ate ice-creams and held bags whilst the young people

screamed their way to excitement.  One adult took it in her stride

 with cool and aplomb.  It was only the Minister who thought he

could cope - and spent half the day longing for a nice shady

place to lie down whilst his stomach stopped spinning. This was

such a great event that we are repeating the event on Saturday

20th September and opening it up to the whole church.  Lets

see whether Danny has learnt anything from last year!

 

Church Family Fun Day                                                      

 

Having previously had a Fun Day at Green Pastures,

Hambledon, a team have been busily putting together another

great day of Fun for September 6th.  This will include a variety

of stalls, a Hog Roast & vegetarian option, sports and line-

dancing!  For further information see the This month... page.

 

Of course there are also special meetings and activities at

Christmas and Easter.  Details of these will be included in the

This Month ... page at the appropriate time.
