When I survey - Lent course 2010
The course lasts five weeks and each session consists of a simple meal
followed by teaching and discussion. The death of Christ dominates the
Gospels. The Cross is the symbol of the Christian faith. But
we do not honour a dead hero, we worship a living Lord. According to the
Bible, the death of Jesus is the gateway to life. There are important
themes in this course - the place of silence in a noisy world, despair
and hope, suffering, the challenge of living as a Christian when Christianity
is no longer mainstream.

As well as the meetings in church, there are also groups meeting at 2.30pm
at Heslington Court and at 7.30pm at 277 Hull Road, both on Tuesdays.
Food for Thought Tuesdays 6.30pm to 8.45pm January 12th,
19th, 26th, February 2nd, 9th.
This five session course, which starts with a simple meal each week, examines
the Hebrew roots of the Christian faith, Hebrew expressions and thought
patterns and how these affected the ministry and teaching of Jesus.
It comes from a Diocesan course on the Hebrew Bible, attended by Nancy
and John last November. John has adapted this very thought-provoking course
for use at Heslington Church. More information can be obtained from Melanie
Drewicz 01904 411982 or John Eckersley 01904 410389.
Taste and See This course takes place each year. See
below for the outline of the 2009 course, which was on Tuesday evenings

then a discussion of aspects of the Christian faith based around important
meals in the Christian story. Lots of opportunities to ask questions.
All are welcome.
