Bible study groups: note change of date

Stop press: For Philip’s sermon on Jeremiah 8 from Sunday 22 Sept CLICK HERE

There will be two Bible study groups starting again in the week beginning 8 September, at different venues in Tilbrook and Kimbolton.  The idea is that we’ll all study the same topic, so that will allow people to go to one of the other groups if they’re unable to go to their “usual” evening.  The topic will be confirmed later – watch this space.

Venues are as follows:

Tuesday, 7.30pm, Kimbolton, at Daphne’s
Thursday, 7.45pm, Kimbolton, at Ann B’s

Forthcoming events: Mossy Church and book sale

St Andrew’s Lych Gate Book Bazaar – will be running in Kimbolton for a trial period in August.  Saturdays 10, 17, 24 and 31 August after 10am.  Paperbacks will be 50p; hardbacks from £1.

Mossy Church Sunday 18 August, 3pm in Duchess’s Walk – bring a picnic tea!
