Lent Study

Webmaster — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 10:59:50 +0000

Delving Deeper
Dates – 25^th February, 4^th, 11^th, 18^th and 25^th March.
Venue – All Saints Choir Vestry Time – 7.30pm
Delving Deeper is the name we are giving to this year’s Lent Study. The evenings will consist of an opportunity to look in greater depth at the readings and Sermon from the previous Sunday (the meeting on the 11^th March will be based on the readings and sermon preached at St Andrew’s on the 7^th). The evening will begin by hearing the readings and sermon again so it won’t matter if you hadn’t managed to church on the Sunday previous, which will then be followed by questions and discussion.

The relevant sermon can be downloaded as a pdf file below

St Andrew’s Book Club

Webmaster — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:56:02 +0000

The Book Club last Wednesday had a lively discussion on “The Reader” by Bernhard Schlink. This story, set in postwar Germany, of a young boy befriended by a woman who later turns out to have been a concentration camp guard provided many topics of conversation, both of the book itself and the wider consequences in our society today.

The next meeting of the Club will be on Wednesday 24^th February at Marie Milne’s at 8.00p.m when we shall discuss “Shanghai Girls” by Lisa See.

Twinning -an update

Webmaster — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:50:34 +0000

St Andrew’s – Muhura Our recent correspondence from Dismas Ngedabanga has informed us that he has been made the Rural Dean of Muhura Deanery and he also tells us that our friend Elson Mageza, who visited us last year, has now been appointed Sub-Dean of the cathedral in Kigali. Elson was able to complete his course in Hemel Hempstead in one year instead of two to allow him to rejoin his family and take up the new position. Dismas has again invited us to visit his parish in Muhura to meet his family and congregation and see the hostels which we have helped to build over the last seven years. We have recently sent almost £900, to purchase a solar panel and connector because the electricity link from the school which used to be freely available is now very sporadic. Elson, who was transferred from Muhura to Bushara, has also extended an invitation to stay with him and his family – he is pleased to tell us that the funds which we sent to his last Parish in Bushara to purchase a water tank and solar panel has made parish life much easier – there is no water in the remote village of Bushara and unlike Muhura and the many other churches shown on our large scale Rwanda map I cannot find it!

Concert for Haiti

Webmaster — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:41:48 +0000

Sarah Sedgewick, who is a cellist with Scottish Opera Orchestra, is organising a concert for Sunday 14^th February at All Saints in aid of relief in Haiti. 14^th February is Valentine’s Day, and what better way to show love than to do something on that day that will bring comfort to those in need. So if you were planning a romantic lunch for two, why not come along. There will be a light lunch after the 11am service with the concert following at 1.30pm and lasting around an hour. More details of the concert will follow soon. Do come.
