Fruitfulness on the Frontline
Lent is on the horizon, and starts on March 1st. Throughout Lent we will be following a course called 'Fruitfulness on the Frontline' on Sundays. It's about how we can serve God in our 'regular' lives. The course includes a DVD and small group material and housegroups will be invited to follow it. If you're not in a housegroup but would like to join a temporary group to study the course please get in touch with Simon by the 19th February.

A chance to get to know others in the church through sharing Sunday lunch, the idea being that perhaps 3 or 4 households people invite a handful of people back home for Sunday lunch.  This is being planned for the first Sunday each month starting Sunday 5th February. A doodle poll will be available on the website so that individuals can indicate which Sunday they plan to host. For more info,questions,comments or support to do this please contact Lisa Baxby

Cell: On Wednesday evenings in term time a great bunch of young people from across our local churches gather at the Methodist Centre to explore faith, hang out and generally have a good time!
