Our Grow home groups will be starting again soon. They are for everyone of secondary school age and above. With the help of a Good Book Company guide we’re going to spend seven evenings studying the New Testament letter of James – a letter that shows us what authentic faith looks like in everyday life. The groups will meet in the evenings of the weeks beginning February 7 & 14, March 6 & 13, April 3 & 10, and May 1. G ROW G ROUPS

If you would like to join a group for the first time (you can choose one that meets on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, or Saturdays), please speak to Philip McClelland. An information card will follow soon. 2 Peter 3:18: “Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. G ROW G ROUPS

In 2015 we marked 70 years of Christian Aid. It is tragic that our organisation, which was established by the churches in the aftermath of the Second World War to provide aid to refugees in Europe, is responding to another refugee crisis 70 years later. While the world may have changed, the needs of people living in poverty have not and as our anniversary year draws to an end and 2016 begins, we remain as determined as ever to bring about an end to poverty and to address the inequality that exists across the globe. On behalf of the staff and volunteers at Christian Aid, I would like to wish you a very Blessed and Peaceful New Year. See announcements for further details C HRISTIAN A ID
