SUNDAY 3rd April 2016 CHAPEL A FRIDAY EVENING GATHERING Help needed The next two dates for your diary are May 6th and June 3rd (we're trying to stick to the first Friday of the month). How do you think it's going? As you know we decided to start meeting after last years Ashburnham holiday where many of us felt the benefit of having more time together, worshipping, hearing other peoples faith stories and praying for each other. We have enjoyed meeting together and have been encouraged by the numbers who have been able to come on the Friday night, which we know is a big deal. Before we know it a year will have gone so we thought we'd take the opportunity to ask you how you think it's going and how you think the group should progress, also whether we should keep it on a Friday night or move to a Sunday evening. Many thanks  Mark Riches and Simon Hall NETWORK DAY The Revd Dr Sally Nelson, Baptist tutor at St Barnabas Theological Centre in Sheffield, has shared news of a day in Leeds, showcasing the centre and what it does.
