Church Update

Hi there Church!

I trust that you are enjoying the blessing and favour of God!

As we enter the new Autumnal season, there are a few practical things we want to keep you updated with regarding our Sunday Experience.  We are very excited to have some new team leaders who are working alongside the existing team leaders on our hospitality teams to lift the level of our Sunday Experience, to bless and help our congregation and people who are new to Arena Church.

Please be aware of the following:

• The Resource Hub is now positioned downstairs in the coffee shop.  This will enable people to get information as they arrive and are waiting to go up to the service and also after the service whilst enjoying a drink.
• Freddy and a Kids Church team member will be welcoming in the coffee shop to give new families information about Kids Church and Crèche (to reassure them that it’s Ok to have a fox come and take their children away during the service!)
• We will now have 2 volunteers on car park to help people as they arrive.  The car park team will now be looking after security whilst we are in the service upstairs.

It has been brought to our attention that some people are parking in front of the AHBS building at the side of the church.
AHBS have kindly given permission for 4 of our staff cars to park at the side of their building but have asked us to keep the rest of their front clear as they do have staff who sometimes work on a Sundaywho will need to park.  Please do not park there as we want to continue the good relationship we have with them.

The chair stewards will be helping you to find available seats which is necessary now we have more people in one service.  Please be kind to them!…they are their to help you whilst having to be mindful of some health and safety rules we have to abide by.

It is our heart to empower everyone to serve in the house, as God has called them.  If you would like to join a serving team in any of our departments, please talk to me and I will put you in touch with the relevant team leader…we do need help particularly on car park/security and chair stewarding on a Sunday but we do have numerous serving teams across the life of the church and will be able to help you find the team that is right for you.

We are very excited about what God is doing and where He is leading us, let’s all join together to reach the people in our communities, country and world!

Have a great week!

Love and blessings,
Christine
