UPGRADE to Adult Christianity!

Adult Christians rely so much on what they learnt as children. Hopefully most have some grounding in the ‘traditional’ stories - but most adults struggle to connect these stories into a coherent pattern. As a result it is hard to know what or how to believe; and harder still to defend or explain faith to others.

UPGRADE is a series of small groups where any question can be asked, and all can feel free to share their search for better understanding. There will be no expectation of reaching any given standard! The aim is to grow in understanding and maturity as Christian believers.

NEW - Open access to Service Rotas

For some time the service rotas, including intercessors and Bible Readings, have been available to those who compile the rotas and share in planning.

From today they are available to all to see (though not to alter). The links will appear in the right-hand column under 'Document Downloads and Links' but they are also here for the moment:

2010-11 Rota

Please let me know if you want to be able to alter the spreadsheet and I can give you an account on localvicar.com that will allow you access, with your own username, password, and email address.

as with most tech things there may be some intital teething troubles. Keep trying! Let me know if they persist over more than a day.

"If I have freedom in my love

And in my soul am free,

Angels alone, that soar above,

Enjoy such liberty"
