A reminder that the ‘The Bible In A Year’ readings for this week are listed in the adjacent box.  The year started on 1st January and there are a few pages to read each day. 

If you manage to keep it going all year you will have read the whole of the Bible. To share our thoughts and questions, there will be a Bible Fellowship every other Wednesday evening at at the home of Donald & Sue Reid and it is hoped that people from other churches will also want to join the fellowship. Please do not feel you have to commit yourself to coming every week, we will only be looking at the readings from the previous week so you can dip in and out as you are able.

The Bible In A Year readings for the next week are shown below. If you would like to discuss, comment, question or share with others who are reading the same material, there is an informal meeting  on alternate Wednesdays at 7.30 p.m. at the home of Donald and Sue Reid - no meeting this week
