Benefice Dates
Benefice Book Group
The group is continuing to read ‘That was the church that was’… and will discuss it in June.
On Monday 6th May there will be a showing of the film “Mary Magdalene,” a film from a few years ago which is a very interesting side look at the ministry of Jesus.
It asks the question, what if Mary really was a key disciple of Jesus as the gospels hint.
It also has fascinating insights into Judas & Peter.
Starting at 7.00pm and including home made popcorn and cups of tea. All very welcome
