‘NO NAMES’ FAMILY GROUP:

Our first activity for 2012 is a  ‘BARBECUE’ to be held next Sunday

19 February 2012 from 12.30 pm.  John and Alison Craig have kindly agreed to host us again at 5 Cranwell Street, Churton Park.  As usual, we need to bring our meat, a small salad and drink.  We look forward to seeing you there.

ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICE:

St. Peter and Paul’s parish have invited us to share the Ash Wednesday service with them again this year.  It is a wonderful way to work ecumenically with our Catholic neighbours and worth setting aside the time to attend.

The service will be held on Wednesday 22 February 2012 at St. Peter and Pauls parish commencing at 7.30 p.m.  Everyone very welcome to attend.

LENTEN STUDIES:

‘LIFE ATTITUDES’ – A Five-Session Course on the Beatitudes.

This is a chance to go deeper into these eight radical sayings from Matthew’s Gospel that contain both values for living and promises of blessing.

Weekday Study – Every Tuesday for 5 weeks from Tuesday, 28 February to Tuesday 27 March;  to be held in the Committee Room at JUC from

1 pm – 2.30 pm.

Evening Study – This will be held in Sandra Gaelic’s home Churton Park, every Thursday for 5 weeks from Thursday, 1 March to Thursday 29 March from 7.30 pm – 9.00 pm
