Father's Heart 

Dads & Lad's camp 2015.  (Programme and booking details below.)  NOW BOOKING - LIMITED SPACES. 
For 2015 Dads and Lads camp has morphed into something a little different. Yes we'll still have lots of fun but this year we'll be more intentional with the dads working side by side with their lads to help encourage them and build relationship. We'll be working on a farm with 200 acres, which gives us plenty of scope for trying out more skills. We'll also be doing some male friendly worship & teaching.  Due to the nature of the activities the minimum age will be 11 (School year 7), with no maximum age. All boys are welcome, but every boy must be accompanied by a responsible male adult. Cost and code of conduct and other stuff will be worked out later.

Yeldall Preparation Morning 
On Sunday 8th March will gather at Yeldall Manor at 9.15 to have a trial run. We'll do some work on the grounds, have some simple 'worship in the woods' enjoy a BBQ and if there is time, a wide game. Same 'rules' as above.
