This morning Ted and Jason lead our service as we kick off our series on Life on the Frontline by examining the great commission recorded in Matthew chpt 28 v 16-20.
The children will be going to their special sessions in creche and Powerbase after the first part of the service. This week they will be looking at Abram & Lot as they deal with big herds of sheep!
We hope you feel comfortable on our premises and receive a warm welcome. Stay if you can for refreshments after the service, for which there is no charge. This leaflet gives you some idea of the activities in our fellowship; but to know more our welcome team or any of the regulars can give you a much better picture of life at BBC 🙂

Rainbow’s 30th Birthday Celebrations
The youngest of the guiding organisations for the 5-7 year olds is celebrating thirty years this year. As part of the celebrations our unit joined with others from West Sussex on a trip to Paulton’s Park yesterday. After a damp start, the sun came out and a great day was had by all. Thanks to our own Purply and Shiny for their support each week to this group of young ladies and braving a whole day out with these bundles of energy !
