 As we come out of the other side of Covid, we’re finding ways to re-connect with families, and support others who might not have been in contact with church before. This Sunday 27th from 3.30-5pm, we’re beginning by holding an afternoon gathering at the church hall for all ages, with afternoon tea, party food, some prayer activities, well-being resources and time to chat and spend time together. We’ll be thinking about the feeding of the 5000 with the message that we’re all invited, and that God can give us more than enough in all the different areas of our lives.

If you're a family, please come along and let us know - but please read on, whoever you are! 

We would like to be able to offer a food bank that afternoon, and so we would really appreciate any donations of

• dry/tinned foods with a long date,
• squash/juice,
• toiletries
• “treats” like biscuits, crisps, dried fruits etc.

You can drop them to the vicarage this week, or bring them along to church on Sunday morning. 

We would also be very grateful for offers of baking, particularly of scones, so we can give everyone a delicious treat!
 
You are also obviously all very welcome to come along on Sunday afternoon - have a think and pray about who you might invite, too, and bring them along.
 
Let us know if you’re able to help in any of those ways, or if you have any questions!

Leaders: Rob Baker

Are you a family with children aged up to 11ish? We'd love to invite you to join us at Lighthouse, every other Wednesday at 4.30pm. We have games, songs, video, a quiz and lots more to help us all think about how God used all sorts of people in the bible to do amazing things for him, and how he wants to use us too. It's a lovely bit of light in lockdown life!
Please get in touch if you’d like to get hold of the Zoom link and join in: email rob@venta-group.org

We are really excited about our Wednesday evenings with some brilliant local church leaders, reflecting on the question "What is the Spirit saying to the churches?" You can use the zoom link above to connect with us on a Wednesday evening, and catch up on youtube here if you miss any of them: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSzgzHMryqarxVhcAtApQ9Z_cXpMK54LU There will be plenty of time to discuss and pray with each other as well.

Join us for an evening of fun, entertainment, good company, shared dinner, quizzes and an exciting auction of promises.
We are fundraising in aid of our partner churches in Tanzania and the Stoke Holy Cross church building fund.
Tables are booking up fast so don’t delay, book your place today! It’s a snip at just £5 per person.

Ideally we want to ask people to book a table and then fill it with family and friends so we can maximise the fundraising potential. If you can’t fill a table and still want to join in then let us know and we’ll try and put you together with others in a similar position.

The whole evening will be held online and you’ll be able to share part of the evening privately with your family and friends in “tables” using Zoom Breakout Rooms. We will auction off “promises" during the evening and welcome any promises you would like to offer. Promises could be a service (for example BabySitting, Car Washing or Gardening…) or a physical thing (such as a cake, a meal, a holiday…). The only limit is your imagination!

For more information contact andy@thehardings.uk, whilst to reserve a table or place, contact carole@thehardings.uk.
Alternatively call us on 01603 782667.

Whether you are brand new to the Bible or very familiar with it, excited to get stuck into the Scriptures or a little bit lacking in enthusiasm, we think you will love the Bible course. It takes a look at the whole Bible over 8 weeks, and invites us into the big story of God's plan for the whole of human history. We'll start at the beginning, end at the end, and do a whole lot more in-between. Why don't you spend a minute looking at the video below to get an idea of it?

I've got a few questions...

• Do I have to just sit and watch the vicar talking all evening? No! The course consists of some video clips which we will all watch together, and then everyone gets to join in with some discussion questions. It will work best if we all do the same amount of talking!
• I miss my home group. Can I catch up with them somehow? Yes! We'd love all our homegroups to join in, and if there are enough of us joining in we can use Zoom to split you down to existing groups to talk together, and to catch up and pray at the end. We'll add new people in to existing groups or create new ones depending on numbers.
• Is there material I can use to help me in between the meetings? Yes, as part of each week we will offer you some things to read every day until the next session so that you really get into the habit of reading the Bible for yourself, and experiencing God speak to you in this way, over the next couple of months.
• Do I have to know lots about the bible? No, it is designed to provide a bible overview to inspire people to start reading the bible, and encourage others to pick it up again or keep going deeper.
• Is there a course handbook? Yes, we have uploaded a printable course handbook to our website here. If you would like to buy printed copies for you and your friends (£4.99 each) click here.
• Will there be coffee and biscuits and stuff? We may just be able to meet together towards the end of the course, depending on the lockdown, but for now we are afraid that we have to meet online, so no, you will need to sort out your own biscuits.

Sound good? We think so! Click HERE from 7.15pm on Wednesday to join the meeting.

It would be great if you wanted to show off an Easter hat or costume or facepaints, and if you could have a few simple craft supplies ready - paper, scissors, pens, and any junk you might be able to sellotape together if we get that far. To get a Zoom code to join us online just email by clicking on ROB ideally before Good Friday lunchtime, but we'll be checking until just before we start. See you there!

HUNDREDS OF CHURCHES.
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.
ONE BIG QUIZ.

Get together with your friends, family and church
for an epic evening of poverty-fighting fun.
This November churches and other groups up and down the country
will be taking part in the biggest multi-venue, nationwide quiz ever.
We’d love you to join in!

Get together a team of 6, and let us know you are coming! We are asking for a donation of around £5 a head, and that you bring your own picnic for 'half-time', and whatever you would like to drink.

All the proceeds of the evening will go towards our new partnership with churches in the Diocese of Kilimanjaro, looking to train and equip people so that their lives and communities will be transformed, and many will be lifted out of extreme poverty. There will be a chance to hear more on the night.

To register your team, please email admin@venta-group.org, or call Rob on 01508 492305 by the end of October.

Come and join us for loads of brilliant fun and games, songs, party tea, prizes and more!

All primary school aged children are welcome, and any older helpers who’d like to join in. Pre-school children can come along too if an adult stays.

Wear your brightest and shiniest clothes

RSVP admin@venta-group.org / 492305 by Monday 28th October, including any dietary/ other requirements.

It is an amazing privilege to be able to spend time with God, and to know that he hears our prayers—more than the best of human fathers. Across our group of churches we are meeting more regularly now, to pray that God’s kingdom will come in the world, and in our communities here, and that people will come to know Jesus. Please come and join us to pray anywhere, any time. Our prayers will cross parish boundaries as we hold the different villages before God wherever we are; please do cross them yourselves and join us as much as you can.

Please come and join us to pray anywhere, any time. Our prayers will cross parish boundaries as we hold the different villages before God wherever we are; please do cross them yourselves and join us as much as you can.

We look forward to seeing you at our Harvest Festival service this year. Expect all the familiar harvest songs, a beautifully decorated church, and please do bring gifts of tinned and packaged food with you which can go with other gifts from our churches to the Norwich foodbank. After the service, we will all be staying to share lunch together in the church, so please bring a plate of food to share as well. It would be helpful if you would email us on admin@venta-group.org so that we have an idea of what everyone is bringing and don't end up with all the same thing.

All Foundation-Year 6 children are welcome to join us at our brand new after-school club, as well as any older helpers who would like to join in! If you’d like to come along, or find out more, contact us on admin@venta-group.org, or 01508 492305. 

Games, Crafts & Snacks, Bible Stories, Videos & Songs

We really need to know in advance if you are coming to help us plan ahead, but please do just come along if you don’t manage to get in touch for any reason. All children must be signed in and out by a responsible adult.

Join us in September this time, for fantastic fun at the park including a bouncy castle, crafts, cake and drinks, and a celebration service! Activities start at 2pm, with the service from 4pm. Come on down and see us there!

You might know that for a good few months now the PCC have been thinking about the vision that God is calling us to in Stoke and Dunston, and after a good lot of hard work and prayer we have come up with a sentence which we think is almost there. And to help us make sure it is 100% right, and to get dreaming about what it will look like as God starts to make it a reality, we’d love to invite you to an evening of vision and prayer on Wednesday 4th September at 7.30pm in the Church Hall. There will be nice drinks and cakes, but most of all a chance to be part of shaping the exciting future of our churches together.

We are really looking forward to our Lent breakfasts for 2019, where everybody's welcome to join in a great course we will be using, looking at the things that we can do to help people when they are thinking about becoming part of our churches. It helps us to remember that anyone attending church should be made to feel welcome, and that welcoming is a ministry for every member of the church. We’ll be thinking about how we approach newcomers, and helping everyone to be part of it. It’s based on ideas that are the same for every church. It will give us some things we could decide to do, and some practical changes we can make.

We really need to know in advance if you are coming to help us plan ahead, but please do just come along if you don’t manage to get in touch for any reason. All children must be signed in and out by a responsible adult.

It is an amazing privilege to be able to spend time with God, and to know that he hears our prayers—more than the best of human fathers. Across our group of churches we are meeting more regularly now, to pray that God’s kingdom will come in the world, and in our communities here, and that people will come to know Jesus. Please come and join us to pray anywhere, any time. Our prayers will cross parish boundaries as we hold the different villages before God wherever we are; please do cross them yourselves and join us as much as you can.

We'd love to see you at our Alpha course, so if you'd like to join us, please email alpha@venta-group.org, or click here for more information.
