|
Drama Workshop: Saturday 6th April 9am-12noon, St Paul’s, Marton. The aim is to effectively equip people with sketches/drama skill sets for taking back into church, giving people some good resources to take home but also confidence in doing their own creative thing. No stipulations for attending and no experience needed. Just a desire to be creative within church/worship/evangelism settings through use of drama. Although there is no charge, and you won’t be turned away on the day, it would help in planning refreshments and resources if you would let us know you’re coming by e-mailing Canon Simon Cox: drsjcox@yahoo.co.uk |
|
Donkey Ride On Palm Sunday April 14th at Kidz KLub we are going to be offering children a free Donkey ride. The cost is going to be £2 a child with around 30 expected to take part. If you would like to sponsor a child then please can you give the donation to Lucy or Alison Cross. Thank you |

The Bible Course. Now that the Bible course has been completed the journey is not over. As we continue in our Life groups we are looking forward to continue reading from the Bible and increasing our knowledge and understanding of the Christian faith, and becoming disciples of Christ. Look out for a course on the Lord’s Prayer starting after Easter. |
|
Bishop’s Memory Verse: Making Disciples – Romans 1:16 Bishop Julian as part of the Diocesan year of discipleship is encouraging us to develop the spiritual discipline of learning Bible verses by heart, this is a great thing to do and so we would like to encourage you to meditate on and memorise this verse this month. ‘For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes’ |
