February 2026
Dear Friends
‘Journey to Rome’
There may still be some places left on our Holiday Club organised
by Burton and Holme Churches and taking place at Burton Morewood School on Thursday
19 and Friday 20 February 2026 from 9am to 5pm each day. £6 for 2 days to cover snacks and lunch.
Our enthusiastic
leaders and helpers are getting ready to welcome children (from Reception to
Year 6) for a packed two days of Roman and Italian-themed activities and Bible
teaching led by Sue Aranzulla who has many years’ experience of organising
similar events. We’re also inviting
parents, carers and other family members to Aperitivos at 4pm on the Friday to
enjoy a taste of the culture the children will have experienced.

First Steps Services
Are you or your family interested in coming to church but
feel that would be as big a step for you as it would be for me to join a Scuba
diving club – I’ve never been to such a thing and I have no idea what that
would be like! Starting on Sunday 22
February the last Sunday service each month will be a ‘First Steps Service’ –
when those who regularly join us for worship will be especially ready to
welcome children, young adults and older adults who have not attended church very
much, or at all. The service will be
like our regular Sunday gatherings but shorter (about 50 minutes) and we’ll
make every effort not to baffle or embarrass but to be clear and
welcoming. We encourage you to bring
children of all ages and not to worry about noise or fidgeting.
Our first ‘First Steps’ service will be at 10am on Sunday 22
February in St James Burton and we will be inviting all children and families
from the Holiday Club to come too. You will
be very welcome. For all who are
able to stay the short service will be followed by a ‘Holiday Club Round-Up’
over refreshments. And then a warm
invitation to everyone to stay for a light lunch which we will provide.
Future ‘First Steps’
services will alternate between Burton and Holme. If you join our mailing list (use the link at www.burtonandholmechurches.org) then we’ll email to let you know when and where they will be.
Sincerely
Graham Burrows
