Belleplates Group 
6.15-7.15pm in the Church Hall. Children and adults are all welcome as we explore music of all varieties. No experience required – though obviously welcome – and if you prefer to help with the refreshments or just watch then that’s fine – just come along! The picture on the right shows our first attempt at ringing with belleplates at the Activity Afternoon last autumn. We trust the smiles will increase as we improve!
2010 Lent Meetings
PARISH MEETINGS:
There will be discussions in the extension of our own Parish Hall on the five Monday evenings in March from 7:30 to 9 pm, and we will be following one of the York Courses, as in recent years. It is entitled ‘WHEN I SURVEY … Christ’s Cross and Ours’. A feature of these courses is recorded interviews with well-known Christians to stimulate discussion: the Rev’d John Bell of the Iona Community; General Sir Richard Dannatt, until recently Head of the British Army; Canon Dr Christian Baxter, principal of St John’s College, Nottingham; and the Rev’d Dr Colin Morris, former President of the Methodist Conference, who will provide the closing reflection at the end of each session. A course booklet for those wishing to take part, priced £3•50, will be available for purchase before it begins or at the sessions.
A reminder of the dates can be found in the Noticeboard of Events & Meetings
