Here's how it works:
- Come to the 10.30am service at church. The place to sit is the balcony above the main door - you'll see the rest of us up there.
- After 15mins or so we'll head across to 3 Osborne Road for Pathfinders, which will kick off at about 10.45am.
- We'll then wrap up in time for the end of the service and will bring you back across to find your parents.
