Book club

We are looking forward to coming together in this new space.
Whether you are a big reader or not, if you just want to explore and discuss together some provocative books on our journeys of grace – this could be for you. The idea of a Christian book club was brought to life by hearing Kate enthusiastically referring to a book called “The ruthless elimination of hurry”. There seemed a rich opportunity to carry on the discussion well after the Sunday sermon slot & chat, so the outline of a book club to explore faith further together was born.

There are some other surprisingly good Christian books out there to enjoy, stimulate us and discuss together.

If you are interested in being part of this, then the launch meeting is on October 7th 7:30 to 9:00 online. Please email Helen if you are interested.

Objectives

  • A safe place to discuss Christian books honestly, get provoked and explore journeys of grace
  • Fellowship and fun
  • Encourage sharing of good book experiences in each of the parishes

Who’s it for?

  • People willing to commit to meeting regularly monthly for a year – come and give it a trial first if you want
  • Theological experts or seekers after the truth
  • Those who are suffering or rejoicing

Launch session with an outline proposal to be refined by members

  • October 7th 7:30 to 9:00 online gathering with eCoffee & eBiscuits and then
  • the first Wednesday of each month following
    • “How to pray” by Pete Greig will be the launch book.
    • Buy a copy if possible and read the first chapter
    • Say hello and help us shape this club
    • Share some insights or questions – we would like to hear everyone if possible.

Looking forward to hearing from you, Peter Hill [Helen the curate’s husband!]

Communion during this time

In these unprecedented times, we are working hard to find imaginative solutions in a landscape that has been rapidly changing. Sometimes we get things right, and sometimes we miss the mark. I apologise that this has been the case regarding communion.

For those of you who have received wafers in a parcel, we would ask that you either consume them, or put them somewhere safe to bring back once we are able to be together again.

We are going to be sending out a new order of service for use during this time as either a simple service of the word or, on occasion, to help us to share an Agape meal together.
