Lighthouse will re-open its doors on 1st September!

Lighthouse children are supporting mission home & overseas.

In 2013 we are supporting:
- the children from our church who are going on the parish youth mission trip to the WAREHOUSE, Cape Town, 25th July -8th August
- 5 children in a church-supported orphanage, CASA LUZ, in Ayacucho, Peru. Mercedes Bell, from Condor Vision Trust in Horsham, is in contact with the pastor who is a trustee there. Through them we send our prayers and gifts to support these children and their education and hear about how they are doing.
- A project in the WHITEHAWK ESTATE in Brighton which provides opportunities and a safe place for children.

Please bring a coin for the collection every week!

If you would like to know more about the content of each week or if your child misses a week, please speak to their group leader or one of the people named below:
