Sunday Night

After last Sunday's break due to the pot-luck, our Sunday night meetings begin again this week.  The meeting begins at 5.0 p.m. and last an hour.  Each week the programme may be a bit different, so come along and see what happens!!  Everyone of all ages is catered for, so plan to be there.

Bible Studies

We have two excellent studies going each week.  On Sunday mornings, Simon is leading a study entitled "And Then What?"  Haven't been yet?  Intrigued?  Come along at 10.0 a.m. and find out.

On Monday nights, Bob is leading a study that's looking at the very short letter of Paul to Philemon.  Don't think there's much in it to interest you?  You may be surprised!  Come and see!  A hot meal is provided at 6.30 p.m. for those who can make it, and the study begins at 7.30 p.m.  Both of these studies would do you a lot of good!

Thursday Night Training Class

In case you've missed it, a class has been started on Thursday nights at 7.30 p.m. to help anyone who wants to learn how to take part in our Sunday meetings (lead prayer, wait at table, prepare a talk, etc.).  If you think you'd be interested in this, see Simon.

Fifth-Sunday Social

March has 5 Sundays, so that means we'll be having our "Fifth-Sunday Social" this month, on the 29th.  The theme is "St. Patrick's Day" (a bit late, we know!), so be there and wear green and be as "Irish" as you can!!  We won't promise a ceilidh, but it should be a lot of fun.  "Top of t' morning to you!"

Spring Meeting

Have you put these dates into your diary?  April 3rd-5th .  We will be having a short "Spring Meeting", and the speakers will include Mark Hill (Loughborough) and Trevor Williams (Bristol).  Plan to be there and be thinking of whom you can invite.

Men's Day

Our Men's Day this year is scheduled for April 25th, and the theme will be "Growing As Christians".  The speakers are Alastaire Ferrie (Dundee), Paddy Boyns (Corby), Andrew Marsden (Wigan) and Mike Glover (Great Barr, Birmingham).  We're asking all men to set this date aside and plan to come.  We're expecting a good turn out from all over the country.  Details to be published soon.
