NOTICES


Thank you:-
To those who attended our Fund Raiser Coffee Morning with Isaac, yesterday at St Cuthbert’s.

Lent Course starting on Monday evening 24th Feb at 7:00 pm and Wednesday 26th Feb at 1:30 pm. We will be going through a study that goes with the movie the ‘Greatest Showman.’ There are 5 weeks of studies but we will be starting a week early with a bring and share dinner on the Monday and a bring and share lunch on the Wednesday. On those days we will eat and watch the movie as a social but with the idea that it will help us see the overall picture of the movies message before we start the study. Monday nights will be held at Linda and Simon Harwood’s house and the Wednesday’s at St Cuthbert’s.

Time to Think About Holiday
Our thoughts begin to turn to holidays about this time of year.
For the last 2 years Bernard and I have stayed in a Christian  hotel at Grange in the Lakes. We have thoroughly  enjoyed it  and  would certainly recommend the hotel and location. Last year I joined a small group for a 3 day Art workshop whilst Bernard planned to explore the beautiful countryside on foot, by train and in the car. There's so much to do and I joined him in my spare time.
Food is delicious, staff so welcoming and lovely 'rooms with a view'.
There are a few attractive  brochures at the back of the church to browse over coffee or why not take one home for more information. Get dreaming, planning and booking !!
Contact Christine Higgins on 259 2624 for more details.

Bible Reading Fellowship
Please could you look at the back of church for the Bible Reading Fellowship reading notes starting in January. There are 2 spare copies which anyone is very welcome to take home to use free of charge. If you decide you would like to buy further copies then please contact Christine Higgins Tel: 259 2624
