Millstreet Methodist Update – March 2013

As well as our Sunday services we also hold a Bible study on a mid-week evening. We are trying to make this meeting more accessible to the wider community. So on, the evenings of Thursday 14th and 21st March, we are having meetings in a classroom at Millstreet Community School which has been kindly granted to us.
In light of this Lenten season we will be considering two key decision times in the life of our Lord. On the 14th March we will be thinking about the temptations of Christ and on the 21st March we will be considering the moment of decision at Caesarea, Philippi after which Jesus “..set his face resolutely for Jerusalem” (Luke 9:51). These key Bible passages will be considered in an imaginative and informed way making use of recent archaeological discoveries in Israel.
The group will be inter-active as always with opportunities for questions and discussion together. These meetings are open to anyone and everyone and there will be no charge.
For further information please call Laurence on 064 6631613 or 087 2749044. We look forward to seeing you there.
