THE BIBLE COURSE
Whether you are interested in knowing more about when the books of the Bible were written, why they were written, who wrote them or how they impact the lives of millions of people today, do join us – you will be most welcome. This autumn we will be starting our 8-week course. Sessions on Tuesdays at 10.00am and repeated on Wednesdays at 7.00pm. You are welcome to join us on either day for as many weeks as possible. This course gives an amazing overview of our Holy book and opportunity for us to think more deeply about how we read it, what we learn from it and how we live life as Christians.

THE SPONGE BAG APPEAL
This Christmas year we are planning to support local homeless people through the Longthorpe Church Sponge Bag Appeal. We will be collecting filled sponge bags or knitted hats, gloves and socks to let homeless people know we are thinking of them during the winter months. You can help by:
• Filling a sponge bag with (new, unopened) toiletries for men or women – soap, deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, tissues or wet wipes, lip balm. Include a small pack of sweets if you wish.
• Donating a knitted hat, gloves or socks – new items please.
• Donating any single items as suggested above and they will be made into gifts.
The gifts will be given to the Light Project which supports homeless people in Peterborough throughout the year.
Please leave donations in a box in the church cloister. Maybe your work colleagues, friends, neighbours or any groups to which you belong might help too!
The appeal will close on Sunday, December 13th and is being co-ordinated for us by Rosie Sandall. Any queries – 07884372724.
