1. Come and join the cell group team! On Wednesday evenings in term time a great bunch of young people from across our local churches gather at the Methodist Centre to explore faith, hang out and generally have a good time! We're looking for adults to come alongside them and support them in small groups as they chat and think about faith. If you'd like to find out more, please contact Hannah Dey (hannah.dey@chapela.org.uk) or Ben Cordy (ben.cordy@chapela.org.uk) Thanks, Hannah CELEBRITY TESTIMONY EVENING “Plans are well in hand for the visit of Paul Jones and Fiona Hendley to Trinity Church, Rawdon, on Saturday 8 th October (7.30pm), and we have been encouraged by the amount of interest already shown,” writes the Revd Derek Allan. “The aim of the evening is evangelistic - the kind of event that church people can bring their friends to with confidence, knowing that they will enjoy hearing in word and song how this couple's lives have been transformed by faith in Jesus..” Posters, flyers and tickets (£3, or £5 for a double ticket) are available from Derek via minister@trinity-rawdon.org.uk LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES THE Revd Sally Nelson, Baptist tutor at St Barnabas Theological Centre, Sheffield, has shared the latest list of courses (some free) and retreats organised by Christians Learning Across Yorkshire for September to December 2016.
