Courses and Study Groups
The Parish Reading Groups
If you fancy reading a book and then discussing it with other members of the congregation, one of these groups could be for you. One meets on a Wednesday afternoon at 8, Greyfriars Close, from 1.30pm until 3.00pm; the other on a Thursday evening at the Vicarage from 7.30pm.
In the autumn we study a biblical book; in the months leading up to Lent the choice is usually of a spiritual nature; and leading up to the summer we often opt for a novel or a biography.
As announced in April’s Parish Magazine, the Wednesday Afternoon Group is reading CALL THE MIDWIFE: A True Story of the East End in the 1950’s, by Jennifer Worth.
Wednesday, 2 May Pages 1 - 103
Wednesday, 16 May Pages 104 - 200
Wednesday, 30 May Pages 201 – end
If you would like to join us, please, contact the Parish Office by telephone or email and we will obtain a copy of the book for you, at a cost of £5.99.
In June, both groups will be reading UNRELIABLE SOURCES: how the 20th century was reported, by John Simpson. The Daily Telegraph described it as ‘Lively and refreshingly partisan’! The full cost is £9.99 but we would hope to obtain copies for no more than half of that. Please, sign the list in the Foyer if you would like a copy.
