Here is our November 2022 magazine. Lots of updates from our groups and plenty of news about future events – and a message about Remembrance.

Our November 2022 Bible readings include shepherds & sheep, swords up-cycled into ploughshares, 1 bride for 7 brothers and a King on a cross.

Today is Bible Sunday. It’s the day on which we give thanks for the writings of Scripture and the enlightenment which they can bring. 

Jacob is one of the Bible’s anti-heroes. There aren’t too many redeeming features on display. Not many laudable characteristics to emulate.

Naaman goes down to the river – and his flesh is restored like the flesh of a young boy. It’s not just the leprosy that goes. He’s made new.

Our next Sunday pm worship service is on Oct 30th. In ‘Standing on the shoulders of giants’ we’ll remember those who’ve left a particular impression on us.

At some stage, God’s plans will intersect with our own sense of being and purpose. We need to listen and hear and respond. To say: “send me”.

Inside the October 2022 magazine you’ll find news about Dave’s induction at Christ Church, Heaton and there’s an article on generous giving.

The October 2022 Bible readings include mustard seeds, first fruits, bread from heaven, a man who wouldn’t let go and a persistent widow…

Our next Sunday evening worship service is 7pm on Sept 25th, 2022. We’re in Creation Season and we’re calling it ‘For the beauty of the Earth’

There will be more tail wagging in heaven over one sinner that repents than over 99 righteous persons who need no repentance!

The death of Her Majesty The Queen comes with great sadness to us all. We thank God for all she did to serve this country and our Church.

But back from Renton to Moses and the original ‘Choose Life’ monologue from which this was all shamelessly, if maybe unwittingly, pinched.

That’s what the Books of Proverbs is about. Every single moment is a lesson, if we choose to take the opportunity to learn.

The September 2022 magazine includes Creation Season, 25 years of Margery and Barbara being Readers – and a farewell from the Ryan’s.
