The Cosmos and clues to a Creator: part two
Written by Richard Avery   

 The Big Bang

cosmicHistory
In the years after Copernicus Galileo and Kepler, other astronomers developed our understanding of how the sun and planets fttted in to the vast array of stars. At first scientists realised that we were part of a large galaxy of stars, the Milky Way. Then, as the power of telescopes increased it became evident that blurry patches of light were not clouds of gas in the Milky Way but whole galaxies far beyond. The scale of the universe was mind-boggling.

Lent Lunches

soupBread

St Mary's will be again offering delicious homemade soup and bread lunches, followed by coffee and tea, on Wednesday lunchtimes during Lent starting the week after Ash Wednesday and finishing the week before Holy Week. There is no charge, but a bowl will be set aside for donations to charity. This year we are planning on supporting Water Aid which helps African villages to have a reliable clean water supply.
Come along for a sustaining break and friendly conversation at the back of St Mary’s Church from 12.30-1.30pm on the five Wednesdays from 29th February through to 28th March.
Volunteers for making soup, baking/buying bread or helping on the day should contact c3dedae799cceddae7ede8e799e8eb99cceede99ccedeee6e9a7 zqATZtLHJK05DlNDCQ7Fu4AohWhQPloN caesar This page part is protected against spam bots and web crawlers.

Running The Race

olympicRings

2012 is Olympics year in the United Kingdom. In the Olympics we have all the excitement and challenge of athletics.

 

Sporting images are used often in the New Testament to speak of the challenge, discipline and achievement of living life with Christ.

This set of Lent studies is based on Hebrews 11.1-12.4.

The studies raise questions about what it means to believe;

how we face up to difficulties and doubts;

and the challenges of obedience to God.

 

Outline of the series

1. The Walk of Faith (Hebrews 11.1-7) 29th February

2. The Leap of Faith (Hebrews 11.8-22) 7th March

3. The Fight of Faith (Hebrews 11.23-31) 14th March

4. The Team Effort (Hebrews 11.32-40) 21st March

5. The Champion (Hebrews 12.1-4) 28th March

Wednesday evenings, 8.00 pm at The Vicarage
