A few of us have taken part in Scriptural Reasoning with Muslim neighbours and we are looking forward to more evenings together this quarter. We usually share some food and then look at scriptures from the Hebrew Bible, New Testament and Qur’an, sharing thoughts, questions and ideas. The group is open to anyone – you don’t need to be an expert or scholar! Dates for this quarter are Sunday 19th May 6pm (in our hall), Sunday 28th July 6pm - venue TBC.As some of these meetings take place in someone’s home the address won’t be published, but shared privately instead. For more information please ask Jenni.
Following the wonderful support we have received knitting for the Mission to Seafarers in recent years we are inviting anyone who would like to knit again to pick up their needles once more. Recently, I have received a request for hats as the distributing centre is very low in stock. As before, I have needles and wool. Also, I have patterns if this helps. During 2023, we were able to send the Mission to the Seafarers 90 hats, 18 balaclavas, 29 scarfs and 26 pairs of gloves. I receive letters from the Port Welfare staff of the Mission to Seafarers at South Shields, where the knitted items are now collected to be distributed to seafarers, and from the letters it is obvious how much the seafarers appreciate to be remembered. As always my sincere thanks to our knitters for all the support I receive. Judith
