Our new 'Teaching Café' style evening services are running on the fourth Sunday evening of each month (unless otherwise advertised) at 7.00 pm. The evening includes a light supper and a series of informal teaching sessions based around the course "A Bird's Eye View of Matthew, Mark and Luke", given by our minister Revd John Haley.
This page includes the full schedule of sessions for 2011 and downloadable notes from the course (PDF format, available in the week following each session). There is also a link to the archive of notes for 2010's "A Bird's Eye View of the Old Testament" (please follow the link below).
Links are available to the follow the Bible passages online at Bible Gateway. Each reading is set to music on the evening, and the music used is provided just for interest, with a link to listen on YouTube.
