Why not join the expected 1,000 Methodists from across Europe who will be flocking to the 3rd European Methodist Festival to be held in Krakow, Poland over 4 days from 8th to 12th August 2012. The festival is designed to enrich us as United Methodist Christians from different European countries and strengthen our faith.

Many people accuse the Church of pedalling myths at Christmas time. In my view the real festive fantasy has to be the one we see on relentless television adverts, presenting a rosy picture of doting parents and satisfied children enjoying a stressless celebration.

I just thought I'd add my twopenneth worth on the untimely death last night of Setve Jobs, co-founder of the world's wealthiest tech company, Apple Inc. One of my favourite Steve Jobs quotes is:

"No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there."

The next meeting of the Church Council is on Monday October 3rd at 7.45pm.
