Bits 'n' Bobs...

Study Group
Firstly news of the Bible study group which Eunice announced this morning. Eunice, Anne and Pat plan to meet tomorrow morning at 10am for coffee and a study of Mark's Gospel. If you can make it they'd love to see you.

Blessing
Eunice also shared a Celtic blessing during our worship a couple of weeks ago. I thought I'd share this with you here. Feel free to copy, paste, print and make it part of your day.

Lighter of lights – illumine us  
Fire of fires – thaw us  
Power of powers – strengthen us  
Lover of lovers – warm us  
Teller of tales – encourage us  
Destroyer of darkness – save us  
Touchstone of truth – examine us  
Summoner of stars – amaze us  
Wellspring of wisdom – weather us  
Water of life – refresh us  
Dancer of days – delight in us  
Breath of the universe – bless us.

Blessing by Ruth Burgess

Church Day
Don't forget our Church vision day on April 14th. We will meet at the Sylvia Beaufoy Youth Centre from 10am until 3pm. The aim of the day is to gain fresh excitement and vision about our purpose as a church, exploring various aspects of who we are and what we do together during the day.

Lunch will be provided and we are planning to have a team looking after the children. We will also be joined by Tim Lovejoy who will be helping us with our musings during the day.

Tony's Talk 
It was good to see some of you this morning. I hope that not too many of you have cricks in your neck from reading the words on the ceiling! You can click here to view Tony's notes.

Finally, some of you may have been at Bob and Annie's for a yummy meal  on Thursday night when Tony mentioned a report by the Baptist Union of Great Britain, the Church of Scotland, the Methodist Church and the United Reformed Church through their Joint Public Issues Team, shows how evidence and statistics have been misused, misrepresented and manipulated to create untruths that stigmatise poor people, welfare recipients and those in receipt of benefits.
