Friday 2nd June

There is NO Friday Service this week.

Join us instead at Victoria Hall for the ' On The Move Celebration'
7 for 7.30pm.

Marys Revealed.......

Last nights meeting focused on the 3 main Marys in Jesus' life :

His mother - who has become elevated to sinless perfection in (Catholic) religious thought - illustrated by Dereks opening joke !
Mary Magdalene - who by popular belief was a reformed prostitute however there is no evidence of this in the New Testament.
Mary of Bethany - sister of Martha (Luke 10:39,42 ; John 11:1-2,19,20,28,31-32,45 ; John12:3)

Also, what are your thoughts on the possibility of Jesus being married as perhaps suggested by the Gnostic Gospels.

Come on...... post your feedback / comments / two penneth !

Trade in the lies for the Truth........

A local Gospel artist is giving away free copies of his brand new album in exchange for your copy of The Da Vinci Code.

Stuart Menzies Farrant says ' You've read about the fictional Jesus in The Da Vinci Code - now listen to the truth about the Son of God through my music '.

The Marys Jesus Loved

This Friday 26th May is part 2 of our special fortnight exploring the facts behind the fiction as presented in Dan Browns 'Da Vinci Code'.

Who were the Marys that Jesus loved ?

The book and film claim that Jesus had a special relationship with Mary Magdalene.

Who was she...... a sinner, a prostitute, a disciple, a lover of Jesus ? What do you think?

Check the press....

A press release has gone out for our meetings about the Da Vinci Code. The local Telegraph and Argus has already done a telephone interview. When your friends notice it... invite them!

PS: Hope everyone bought The Independent on Tuesday. The guest editor was Bono and he used the opportunity to hightlight the situation in Africa.

(Hint: click on the image to get a bigger version so you can read the small text - then look up the Bible reference. Can anyone de-code the other stuff?)

Breaking The Da Vinci Code

We have two metings coming up - on the 19th and 26th of May, to tie-in with the release of The Da Fiction Code in UK cinemas.

Regular Friday Nighters will remember us dismembering the book with help from the C4 documentary but the film will give the half-truths in the book new public opportunities. If anyone you meet talks about the book or film, bring them along.

We're not interested in banning the book or burning Dan Brown at the stake. Just getting the real truths out.
