Sign-up forms are available in both Church Porches for a new rota of Adorers willing to commit themselves to spending the same hour each week in the Oratory. We will also be starting all-night Vigils before the Blessed Sacrament in St John’s on the First Fridays of each month. The sign-up forms can be used to express an interest in the Vigils.
 
New Readers Rota
Available to view in Sacristy (St John’s). If you were previously, a Reader and your name is not on the list see Fr Joe/Jonathan. St Thomas list in the porch.

Bible Timeline Course
The Bible Timeline Study System, divides the whole Bible into different Periods, easy to understand and memorise. This way, you will clearly see how the many characters and events in Scripture are related to each other in one unified narrative, from Adam & Eve to Jesus Christ. Each live-streamed session has a time of discussion with Q&A starting on Wed 29th September at 7pm for 8 weeks.  Bible Readings and Teaching Summary notes will be available.
