A new discipleship course is to be run by the Stantonbury Ecumenical Partnership to meet and greet enquirers and new converts to Christ.

It offers a chance to think and ponder the presence of God in the world, and call of Christ upon their lives. Initially the course will be offered ‘online’ only – with evening meetings on zoom at 7.30pm. Led by Peterson and Phil.

We now have dates confirmed for the beginning of the course, using the resources provided by friends from St Martin in the Fields Church.
The dates are:

• Thursday 17th September
• Thursday 24th September
• Thursday 1st October
• Thursday 8th October
• If you are interested in joining the course please contact our Administrator: phone 01908 382458, email sburyepadm@gmail.com .

Further details can be found in this month’s Stantonbury Ecumenical Partnership newsletter compiled by our administration assistant, Helen Eaton, and also records the sad death of editor, John Porter. His funeral is on Thursday May 21 at St James Church, New Bradwell, at 12 noon.
