Church Day Away – Saturday 9 May We’re really looking forward to our Church Day Away — and we’d love you to join us! On Saturday 9 May, we’ll be spending the whole day together as a church family, away from Beccles, enjoying great Bible teaching, relaxed time together, and plenty of fun for all ages. (The day away is then followed by a special Sunday too – more details below.) We’ll be gathering at Horham Baptist Church (IP21 5ER), about 45 minutes' drive away. It’s a wonderful opportunity to step out of our normal routines and enjoy a full day of encouragement, fellowship and fresh air. What to Expect
— Excellent Bible teaching from Sam Buckley, pastor of Christ Church Hemel, who will be speaking from the book of Joel
— Tea, coffee and cake
— Picnic lunch together (please bring your own packed lunch)
— Afternoon activities including games on the field, a countryside walk, trip to Eye, time to relax at the church buildings with boardgames and jigsaws.
— A morning children’s programme and crèche provision There’s a large grass field next to the church building where we’re planning to picnic (weather permitting), and the afternoon will include activities for all ages. Key Details When? Saturday 9 May, 9:30am–5:00pm

Sunday 10 May As in past years, the day away is then followed by a special Sunday. Sam Buckley again will be speaking at our morning service, concluding our studies in Joel. Then we head to Ringsfield Village Hall and spend the afternoon together. All you’ll need to bring is a picnic and a rug or a chair. We’ll have access to the hall, the toilets, the field, the playpark, and we’ll have a bouncy castle too. To help us make the most of our afternoon together there will be no evening service on this Sunday. Please note this Sunday in your diary and plan to come if you’re able. There’s no need to sign up for the Sunday.
