A new bible study will begin on Thursday, 9 October. The study will be Ephesians: Discover Your Inheritance. Ephesians was one of the most widely circulated of St. Paul’s writings because of its powerful, practical instructions for disciples of Christ. This study examines many important themes that are still relevant in today’s Christian culture and society—the nature of marriage, the purpose and role of the Church, the pre-eminence of grace in God’s plan, and the reality of spiritual warfare. This is an 8 week study and classes will be held on Thursday evenings from 7-9pm. The cost is £20 and financial assistance is available. Please register by contacting Marie Baker at mbaker0813@gmail.com by 30 Sept.

Thank you to Marie and her team and all the young people who took part in the Children's Holiday Bible Camp this year. The focus on the Mass produced a great deal of fruit.
