Benefice Book Group
The book for the next few months is “God in all Things” by Gerard Hughes. We will meet in Seaview in the undercroft of St Peter’s Church on the second Monday in January and discuss the first 6 chapters and then on the first Monday in February to look at the rest. Ali has copies of the book, which she has bought at £2.50 each and if you would like one please contact her, also if you have any questions about this. It is a free and open discussion, no right answers, as we share our reactions and inspirations with each other.
Living the Questions
This group will meet on Monday January 28th, 7.00pm in the undercroft at St Peter’s. The same openness of discussion as the book group and some interesting video input….. No preparation required. Please let Ali know if you are coming, if you get the chance.
Brading Events

On the last Monday in January and subsequent 4th Mondays the meeting will be in the Church Hall at Brading at 7.00pm and the whole book [God in all things] will be discussed.
