During Lent, we will be looking at a fascinating new course produced by Churches Together in Britain and Ireland called 'Opening the Scriptures - setting our hearts on Fire'. Based on Luke 24, and the famous journey to Emmaus, the course explores how the Bible speaks to our hearts and minds and encourages us in our journey of faith. (Tuesdays 2.30 pm) All are welcome to come along, even if you haven't been to something like this before - it would be great to see you! Ben To find out more please email ben.haslam@methodist.org.uk

The Cross During Lent (starting on Sunday 1^st March) we will be adding a symbol to the rough cross (made from the trunk of a Christmas Tree), such as a palm branch, a purple robe, a crown of thorns, etc. to remind us of the events of Easter. On Palm Sunday we hope to have Palm Crosses made by young people in The Gambia. At the Good Friday Service of meditation and reflection, led by Ben, nails will be driven into the cross. On Easter Day (12^th April) everyone will be invited to bring a flower or flowers to transform the cross. After the service, the cross is carried outside and placed by the road for everyone passing to see.
