Tuesday evenings in Lent there will be a Lent Course. It will focus on the second part of Matthew's Gospel so we can follow Jesus in the last part of his life...and into his eternal life. Please see below for more details.

'Matthew for Everyone' By Tom Wright
The Gospel of Matthew is an account of who Jesus was, and is to us today. It is a beautifully crafted testimony that has been passed down to us by countless generations. This is our chance to engage with the second part of this Gospel in a friendly and supportive atmosphere. The writer Tom Wright is a companion and guide on this exploration.

The course is held on Tuesday evenings at 7.30pm during Lent. Here are the dates and venues, all of which are in Audlem: 7th March at the Baptist Church, 14th March at the Methodist Church, 21st March at the Methodist Church, 28th March at the Methodist Church. Please contact Rev Alison to pre-order a course booklet (price approximately £5) revalisonfulford@hotmail.co.uk

Audlem Ecumenical – Lent Soup Lunches – the three churches in Audlem will each be offering a Lent soup lunch. These start on Sunday 19th March at Audlem Methodist Church. We are looking for volunteers to make the soup! Please contact Rev Alison if you can help.

Last weekend's Pancake themed coffee morning raised £365. Thank you to everyone for their support and particularly our chefs, Sheila and John Jones. The occasion was made even better with the addition of the folk duo 'Nastee Chapel' who sang and played beautifully, accompanying the pancake eaters!!
