Works in progress and some lovely results from pastel chalks and washi tape on canvases and some patient colouring in this afternoon at Drawing Closer.

And some thinking about what it means to be fruitful.

Huge thanks to the lovely admin and reception team at the Corps who support us with printing, and prepping our tea and coffee station and being generally encouraging too!

We meet next on 19th June when we will be aiming to create a group ‘art attack’ using some collage papers we made today too!

You’ll be very welcome - no art experience or expertise required 👍🏻

We are Drawing Closer this Friday.

We’ll be making some collage papers working towards a project and using chalk pastels on canvas for to create some ‘tape resist’ work.

Our bible base is John 15 :5 where Jesus talks about being the True Vine.

Looking forward to seeing you!

Good morning all, the sun is shining already and we're looking forward to spending time with many of you this weekend.
With the lovely weather, you may end up spending more time outside so if you have camping chairs or picnic rugs bring them along and dont forget your suncream!
There’s still spaces available for swimming tomorrow (2:15 - 3:45) if you want to bring your swim stuff.

Little reminder to anyone staying overnight... you will need a sleeping bag or duvet 🥱

See you there!

Go Kelly!

🏃‍♀️✨ Meet Kelly – one of our amazing runners taking on the London Marathon! ❤️

Kelly’s running journey began during lockdown, becoming something much more meaningful along the way:
💬 “I started running in lockdown… soon after my youngest son became unwell, so I ran to clear my head.”

What started as a way to cope soon turned into a passion:
💪 “I’ve done a few and wanted to push myself further to do the full marathon.”

Kelly also has a beautiful history of supporting The Salvation Army through music 🎶 From concerts to carolling and even CDs, has always been part of her life – alongside the incredible support of family and friends during difficult times ❤️

And why is she running for The Salvation Army?
🙌 “I grew up in The Salvation Army and am aware of the amazing work the charity side do. Homelessness in the area I live is quite prominent, so it will be great for some money to go support the .”

Kelly is turning her passion for running into something truly impactful 💥
Let’s cheer her on as she takes on 26.2 miles and raises vital funds to support those who need it most 👏🔥

Drawing Closer used John 14:6 as inspiration this week , “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’ and some colouring sheets from the
Drawing Closer Resource.

Today there was a lot of colouring in and only one painting, but as usual, great chats and interesting ideas to discuss!

We meet next on 29th May - you’re very welcome!

Access to High Street fine now! But 'mind the gap' driving into the car park!

We've just had a message to say that the High Street is closed from the Brewery roundabout. If you are coming to the meditation tonight be prepared to park in the Brewery and walk over. 🙂
