Greg and Helen’s Study Group
We are planning to organise a series of Bible studies over the next year or so. Each of the three blocks of study will be independent, so you do not need to make a long-term commitment. The first block will be for 4 weeks during Advent, starting on Monday 16th November, following a series called Hope Explored, which is based on Luke’s Gospel. There will also be studies during Lent and in the summer during June/July.
We will meet on consecutive Monday evenings, starting at 7.30pm and finishing by 9.00pm at the latest. These sessions are open to anyone from the church, whatever stage you are at in your Christian journey, and whether or not you are in an existing Connect Group. If you want to see more of the first study go to Hope Explored – Christianity Explored. If you would like to find out more, please talk to Greg Cracknell in church or email: greg.cracknell@gmail.com
‘The Forerunners’ by Alan Palmer
A new book, ‘The Forerunners’ by Alan Palmer is now published and some copies will be available at church this Sunday. The book tracks the lives of Moses and Elijah through Scripture, up to the point where they appear together with Jesus in the New Testament. It’s not just a history book but has much application to our lives today. Please feel free to take a copy. (Donations will be gratefully received.) Meanwhile, the book can be purchased from Amazon at £8.99 for the paperback version.
