Kids and Youth Volunteer Appreciation Evening

Hi Everyone, We would love to invite you to our Kids & Youth Volunteer Appreciation Evening on Friday 24th July, 5pm to 7pm! This is our chance to come together as a team, enjoy a summer evening together, and celebrate all that has been accomplished across Kids and Youth over this past year. There is so much to thank God for, and so much that has only been possible because of your time, heart, energy, faithfulness and willingness to serve. Week after week, you have shown up, loved children and young people so well, and helped create spaces where they can belong, grow and encounter Jesus. From the big moments to the small ones that often go unseen, every conversation, every act of care, every prayer, every game, every setup, every welcome and every bit of encouragement has mattered more than you know, and we want to take this opportunity to celebrate you. So, whether you serve in Kids or Youth, we'd love for you to come and be part of a fun and meaningful evening together. Partners and families are very welcome too, so please do bring them along! Expect good food, plenty of laughter, time together, and a chance to mark the year well as we head into summer. Date: Friday 24th July Time: 5pm to 7pm Venue: Andover Community Church We really hope you can join us as we celebrate all that God has done and all that you have helped make possible. Thank you for being such an important part of the Kids & Youth team. We're so grateful for each of you and can't wait to celebrate together.
