Thank you! CTK FELLOWSHIP MEAL
Many thanks to everyone who worked so hard to
make the Fellowship Meal such a success. Your help was much
appreciated and there were many complimentary comments. Thank
you. Joyce.
Thank you! MU Epiphany Party
Thank you to all who helped make the Epiphany Party a great success, including

must go to Branch Leader, Ann Beckett, who not only shopped for extra
food & drink the day before, and booked the excellent Launton
Hand-bell Ringers to entertain us, but also, along with husband, Stan,
and Ruth Rice, Secretary (who also arranged the fun Quizzes) worked
hard to prepare the Refectory for the party. On behalf of all of us,
thank you.
Regular Lecture Series
Tuesday Working Lunch at St Michael's
As ever, 1.05pm to 1.45pm at the Northgate.
- 23 Jan How do we value people?
This year is the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave
trade, in which people were bought and sold. Nowadays footballers are
bought and sold. People in the city are paid enormous salaries and
bonuses, while gang labour is sometimes paid below the minimum wage.
How do we value people with severe disabilities? How do we value the
homeless, drug addicts, or criminals? How do we value our families
and friends? How does God value us?
