CONFIRMATION CLASSES: We will be running a series of confirmation classes for children and adults in June. This is an opportunity to deepen awareness of the Christian faith. It can also be used as a refresher course or simply an opportunity to explore. The sessions are on God, Christ, Holy Communion and Prayer. Sundays in June at 12pm at St Anne's, the 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd. For more info talk to Ben.
PRAYING FOR PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST: On Wednesday the 15th of May at 7pm there is an opportunity to come and pray for peace in the Middle East at St Anne's Church. There will be some readings from the Bible through the service. You can pray silently or aloud. The time of prayer is for all the people who are caught up in the conflict, for peace and justice, for hostages and civilians. The session is not a time for debate but for prayer. For more information speak to Ben.
