News, info, looking ahead... wk beg 18 Feb

CHURCH NEWS/ What's on:

Church quiz: At the request of the Social Committee, Isobel T and a friend have devised
a devious, but fun quiz sheet. Get the grey matter working as you try to decode clues
and find the answers to some old familiar nursery rhymes and games.
Each sheet is £1 - and being sold by members of the Social Committee.
Winning entry will receive £10 - and all money raised goes towards church funds.
[in the case of several correct entries, these will be put in a bucket and one drawn 'blind']

Wed 20... keep an eye out for an online mid-week reflection based on John 6 and bread...

Faith and film - ‘Les Miserables’: 5 week discussion group -

A book ‘Another story must begin’ by Jonathan Meyer [£5.99], will be used to help our discussion. Nikki is happy to order this for you if you’re interested.
Please let her know if you’d like to join the group/ would like a copy of the book by Sun 24 Feb. Time and place tbd, but 3.30pm Sundays at the manse is one available option.
