21st July – 1st September

We are approaching the summer holidays when lots of people are away and we all benefit from a different pace of life. To reflect this, as usual, our summer services will look a bit different.

Sunnyside Church is excited to be holding a free Community Fete this coming Sunday 30th June 2024 from 2pm-5pm in George Street Park Berkhamsted (HP4 2EQ). This will be a great opportunity to engage with the community and to provide something fun to attend.

Some of you may have watched a brief video from Frontiers UK’s James Price at one of Sunday’s Sunnyside services. If you did, it will have whetted your appetite! Either way, we will all have an opportunity to Zoom with James and his wife Jo at 8pm on Thursday 4 July (a de-toxing antidote perhaps...

Another great Community Café was held in Church on Saturday 16th June 2024. Sadly Katie’s vision of holding it outside this month wasn’t possible due to the forecast and we experienced massive downpours while safely inside!

Our next Community Café will be in Church on Saturday 15th June 2024 from 10.30am-noon hosted by Pam, Katie and Samson. Craftea (bring along whatever craft you are currently working on) will be running and Penny W will be coming to set the church back up.

Each month we pray for two of our mission partners. During June we are praying for Good News For Everyone (formerly known as The Gideons) and Bulawayo Shelter, Zimbabwe.

May 2024 marked eight years since we started Community Café! See photos for a 15-month-old Samson helping Katie to deliver leaflets!
