What are we doing at our church?
We're starting on Palm Sunday evening with a full reading of the Gospels' account of the trial and crucifixion of Jesus.

We're planning a Bible exhibition in church for June with a display of different Bibles, some treasured old Bibles with their personal stories attached, some testimonies, ideas for Bible reading, free Gospels and laminated texts to give out. We'll invite neighbours in the local community and groups from our local school to visit.

We're encouraging those who come to our Café Church to start reading through Mark's Gospel with some very simple notes to guide them.

We're offering the chance to join a small informal group giving a very basic introduction to the Bible for enquirers "Getting to know the Bible" There is also a short, lively, active "Getting to know the Bible" course for children of primary school age. [NOTE: The adult course is already printed and available for £15. The children's course I hope to get printed this year]

What are other Lay Ministers doing? Do share your ideas!
