DAY OF PRAYER FOR WORLD AIDS DAY Dec 1st
To mark the beginning of a year where we, as a parish, concentrate on prayer and spirituality, there will be a day of prayer to mark World AIDS day. This will take place on Tuesday 1st December in the lady chapel at St. John's at 9am with Morning prayer, and it will end at 7.30pm with an Iona Communion. Please put it in your diaries and try to pop in even just for a few minutes during the day. For more information see the Revd. Gillian Straine.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT Dec 1st
the lunchtime bible discussion group, will be meet again on Tuesday 1st December beginning at 12 noon - 2pm, at St John's Vicarage (come to side door of vicarage next to church) We are stepping into a book that has intrigued, mystified and attracted many: the Book of Revelation, beginning with chapters 1 to 3. It is a book full of poetic writing, said to be Emily Dickinson's favourite book of the Bible. It is a book of visionary excess with stars and swords and angelic beings, a beast rising out of the sea, voices sounding like thunder or trumpets, four horses heralding an apocalypse. In 'Revelations: personal responses to the Books of the Bible', the writer and poet Kathleen Norris writes: '.. i/t is also an ordinary human vessel, a letter meant to be read aloud. It begins and ends with a blessing upon those who read it to others, and those who hear and heed it.'/ Come and join us. Bring sandwiches with you, drinks provided.
