Advance Notice

1. Scripture-readers’ workshop following worship Sunday May 21 (date TBC)

The MtE second quarter discussion groups will be looking at David Ford’s, The Shape of Living, a study of Christian (and any!) life in a world of competing and contradictory options and claims on our hearts.

The study series will run for seven or eight weeks, at one session per week in either of two meeting times (see below). Participants should get their own copy of the book and read the set chapter for that week in preparation for the discussion.

The quickest and cheapest option for getting your copy seems to be here (paperback via Amazon) but it may be available elsewhere (look for ISBN of 9781848252479 / 1848252471 to keep us all on the same page!)

The sessions run for 75-90 mins, and will be as follows:

• 1 – ONLINE Wednesday nights, 7.45pm, from May 10
• 2 – ONLINE Friday afternoons, 1.30pm, from May 12

Please register you interest in the form below, in order to receive the Zoom link for these conversation groups.

We hope you can join us for what will certainly be stimulating discussions!
