WORKING TOGETHER - The Archbishop of
Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, has written one
of a new series of Bible studies produced by
Christian Aid to inspire, inform and challenge churches
and their members.
The 'Working Together' series of Bible
studies provides individuals and church groups with an
opportunity to discuss the topics of the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) from the perspective of faith.
Author Janet Morley has written the final study in which she
reminds us that the teaching of Jesus has a very practical
application for our lives.
This is accompanied by a contemporary reflection and series of
discussion starters. Finally each study concludes with a
prayer and suggestion for action.
The studies can also be downloaded from the website:http://www.christianaid.org.uk/resources/churches/resources/working-together.aspx

BIBLE READING FELLOWSHIP GROUP
Please remember to pay four your books before the 17th February. Cheques to be made payable to ‘Lifestyle Christian Books’ and returned to Chris
McPhillips. Many thanks.
|
FLOWERS: You may have noticed the wonderful flowers that decorate our churches and the hard work and
dedication that is behind them. All our flower ladies very much welcome
donations towards the flowers, perhaps at a time of celebration or to
remember someone at a special time of the year. If this appeals to you, have a word with Pat at St Mary’s (514998), Pauline at St James (511407) or Dorothy at St Aidan’s (512118).
|
|
LIFESTYLE CHRISTIAN BOOKSHOP: We have been informed that the bookshop is suffering loss of customers due to the roadworks. Please remember the bookshop when thinking about buying gift cards, etc.
LENT GROUP: JESUS - HIS HOME,
HIS JOURNEY, HIS CHALLENGE.

The Real Easter Egg is the only Easter Egg that explains the Christian
understanding of Easter on the box. With each egg comes a free copy of Easter Booklet. The Real Easter Egg is Fairtrade.
This year it would seem to be unlikely that the Real Easter Egg will be available in supermarkets. Would anyone in the parish be willing to take orders from people in the congregation, collect money and place an order online. For more information visit wwww.realeasteregg.co.uk or talk to Jeremy Cooper.
