Lent videos

I had an idea to create something for the 40 days of lent (Mondays to Saturdays) and I have begun uploading 40 videos that last about 2 to 3 minutes only. They are simply a reading from the bible followed by a short prayer with music and video. If anyone in the district is interested in “journeying with us” in this simple, meditative way the link is as follows: Lent Meditations – YouTube

Green trade agreement

Traidcraft Exchange logoWill you tell the UK to join the green trade agreement?

Every year, the UK spends £10 billion subsidising coal, oil, and gas – while climate disasters hit the poorest countries hardest.

Traidcraft Exchange, the sister charity to Traidcraft, wants the UK to join a team of countries including New Zealand, Norway, and Costa Rica. They have created a trade agreement called ACCTS to end fossil fuel subsidies and help green businesses to thrive.

ACCTS re-shapes trade in favour of greener industries and away from fossil fuels. Supporting people and the planet – that’s exactly what we want trade to do.

Taketime sessions on Mark’s Gospel

Taketime meditations use your imagination to provide a calm, comfortable space in which to meet God. Anyone can use these meditations, regardless of background or religion, and you can meditate anywhere you like.

The Learning Network is organising monthly facilitated sessions using sections of Mark’s Gospel, tying in with this year’s Bible Month. Sessions will run on the last Friday of the month at 12.30pm – 1.30pm, starting on Friday 29th Jan 2021. This will use the story from Mark 2:1-12 of the paralysed man being lowered through the roof.

Book through Eventbrite (free) to receive the link to the sessions. All are welcome.
