Friday Gang, at South Hylton Methodist Church, will be ending this term on Friday with a family fun night. All the family are invited to go along and enjoy fun and games and tasty things to eat. This will be the last get together until mid-September. However, the children will continue to meet each Sunday throughout the summer, at 10.30am and the first Sunday of each month is Family Service when everyone will be welcome.
