Englesea Brook Heritage Talk – No matter where you are in the world please join us via Zoom on Satuurday 10 February 2024 at 11am GMT for our latest Englesea Brook Heritage Talk.
Born in extreme poverty in Norfolk, George Edwards (1850 -1933) was an untiring activist on behalf of the rural poor for six decades. He re-founded the farm workers' union in 1906, was elected as an MP and was the first farm worker to be knighted. All his efforts were underpinned by his Primitive Methodist faith.
Nick Mansfield is Professor of History at UCLan in Preston. He spent 30 years working in museums, including 21 as Director of People's History Museum in Manchester. He first encountered George Edwards when working at the Norfolk Rural Life Museum in the early 1980s.
The event is free, everyone is welcome. The Zoom details are: https://zoom.us/j/96915826156

Ecumenical Lent Course

Paula Gooder uses her deep knowledge of the Bible and her creative imagination to retell the events leading up to Jesus' Crucifixion through eyes of the women who would have accompanied him. We will hear and see the events through the witness of these characters and think about what it would have been like to be there with them.

Here are the dates and locations of the course, all Monday evenings starting at 7pm:

19th Feb and the 26th Feb at the Baptist Church

4th March at St James Church

11th March and 18th March at the Methodist Church

For more details, or to order a copy of the book (price approx. £8), please contact Rev Alison on revalisonfulford@hotmail.co.uk or ring her on 01270 691555.

Audlem Flower rota – If you would like to provide Sunday morning flowers, please sign up on the new rota which is in the Hall.
