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.
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. 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 November 20th we will be welcoming Christian singer/song writer Chris Milner. More information to follow.
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!
