Really Interesting Things!
Confirmation Classes
A number of people have expressed an interest in being Confirmed, so we will be looking to put on a Confirmation Course in the near future. If you, or any one you know, would like to be involved, please let Paul have names and contact details so they can be kept in the loop.
8th October, Benefice Day - Considering our Committees
Our PCCs are in agreement that it would be healthy to look at our meeting structures - do we need 5 PCCs, and 4 Benefice Committees, along with the various sub committees and working groups? Can we save time and energy, and be released in other areas of ministry by combining certain functions? What are the options available to us - legally and practically? How do we shape ourselves for growth in the coming years? These are all big questions, and our Archdeacon, Beverley Mason, and the Diocesan Mission and Pastoral Secretary Judith Calvert will be joining us for a Benefice Day to explore them... all very welcome, and encouraged to be present. Join us at Warsill Parish Hall on 8th October for a bring-and-share lunch from 12.30pm, with discussions starting from 1.30pm.
Benefice 'Lectures'
We are excited to announce a new opportunity for Christian growth and discipleship in our Benefice. From September we are developing a series of lectures/talks/presentations on various faith-related topics. The plan is to have one every other month, on the third Sunday, in Ripley Church. The first event, on Sunday 18th September, will take the place of the usual Matins service at 1045 am, but following regular talks will begin at 12 noon, giving people an opportunity to gather from wherever they have worshipped (or not!) that morning, and will last for approximately 40 minutes, ending in a bring and share style lunch to give people an opportunity to chew over together what they have just heard. On September 18th we will be welcoming Dr. Jonathan Safarti - see below for more information. On November 20th we hope to be welcoming Christian singer/song writer Chris Milner. More information to follow.
70's Meets 80's Disco, Saturday 8th October, 7pm, in Markington Institute
Revisit your 'New Romantic' look, Ziggy Stardust alter-ego or splash out on a black bin bag to impersonate Blondie! Two course, cooked meal (with veggie option) and a full evening of dancing fun. Reasonably priced refreshments are available on the night, as a drinks licence will be operating. Tickets £15 available from Caroline Smith Tel Harrogate 771272 or email caroline.smith46@btinternet.com. (Fancy dress optional, but encouraged!)
Benefice Book Club
Our Benefice Book Club will be meeting again at 7pm on Monday 3rd October, at Castle Close, Ripley, HG3 3AY, to discuss 'A letter from a Christian Citizen' by Douglas Wilson. All are very welcome to come along - having read the book helps, but is not essential!
'Christianity for Skeptics' with Dr. Jonathan Safarti
Sunday 18th September, 10.45am, at Ripley
