DO YOU WANT TO READ THE BIBLE, BUT DONT KNOW HOW TO BEGIN? If you have
ever wanted to read the Bible, but did not know where or how to begin, then A Quick Journey
Through The Bible Parish Study is for you. In April this year we will start our third running of
this 8 week course. Reserve a place now on our presentation evening where you will be able to
preview the content and talk informally to some of our students who have completed the course.
For further information about this event please contact Bob Bryant on 01628-543650 or Mobile:
07979-820064. A Quick Journey Through The Bible makes reading the Bible not only easy, but
exciting. In this study, you will learn the major people, places, events and themes of the Bible
getting the big picture of salvation history. Perhaps for the first time in your life, you will
understand the overview of the Bible story. This then makes your Bible reading and even the
Sunday Mass readings come alive like never before.
THE CATENIAN ROSARY GROUP Since 2009 they have been sending Rosaries to Aboriginals
in Australia and to Third World Countries in Africa. To date they have sent over 150,000
Rosaries but many more are needed. Please search your cupboards and drawers for surplus
Rosaries, there is a box in the Church porch.
