CONVERSION OF ST PAUL
HYMNS & READINGS (St Aidans):
Almighty God, who caused the light
of the gospel to shine throughout the
world through the preaching of your
servant Saint Paul: grant that we who
celebrate his wonderful conversion
may follow him in bearing witness to
your truth; through Jesus Christ your
Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns
with you, in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
St Aidan’s: Ruth 4 & Luke 1 v.68-75
St George’s: Psalm 146
Please pray for:
+ the preparations for ‘Believe... in
Barrow’, the town-wide Mission; for
+Sentamu and Canon Roger Simpson,
the Mission leaders. Pray too that as
a Team we will grasp this special
outreach opportunity.

SHARING YOUR STORY
Some Christians seem to be incredibly confident
about sharing their faith, but most of us feel unsure.
We would love our family and friends, and even the
people we meet, to somehow get to know a little of
what our Christian faith means to us, and might mean
for them. But how?
Barrow Mission 13th -17th May
This Week in South Barrow...
A town-wide celebration
of Faith and Outreach
Monday 26th 10 am The Pulse Steering
Committee @ The Rectory (Gary)
Guest Speaker - the Archbishop
of York – John Sentamu
With many special events
including, Dance, Music, Mega
Messy, Party in the Park and
the TK Vikings !
11.30 am Funeral of Joan Martin at
the Crematorium (Jo)
5 pm St Aidan’s Rainbows
6.30 pm Brownies @ St Aidan’s Hall
'Sharing your Story' is not designed to give you all the answers or turn you
into an embarrassing or annoying God-botherer. It is designed for ordinary
Christians who would like to be a little braver and a little better about helping others connect their life with God. Jesus last words to His disciples were
"you will be witnesses for me". 'Sharing your Story' will help you gently,
carefully and more positively witness to people around you. Each of the
sessions will be led by Bishop Robert. He writes, "Although I often get to
stand up and talk about my faith, I really struggle making conversation with
family and friends. It just doesn't come easily for me. So in many ways
'Sharing your Story' will be about me learning along with everyone else.
What we look at will be simple, practical and do-able. This isn't a course for
'high power' Christians who want a boost. 'Sharing your Story' is for
'ordinary' Christians who want to use the opportunities around them to
bring God into the picture."
Pray too for Local Church Events
- not least in SBT!
'Sharing your Story' will be at 9.15 am (until 1 pm) on:
‘GETTING READY!’
4.30 pm Rainbows @ St George’s
Saturday 7 February (Trinity Church, Abbey Road)
If you were going on holiday you would
need to be prepared. As Christians we
are charged with preparing people for
the ultimate journey—eternity!
‘Believe...in Barrow’ will provide a unique
opportunity to do that so let’s ‘Get
Ready’ - Saturday 21 February!
6 pm Brownies @ St Georges Hall
This session will be led by Bishop Robert and will be both informal and informative—no one will be ‘put on the spot’. Refreshments will be served.
The first COFFEE CLUB was such a success it’s now going to be
FORNIGHTLY! So come along to Roose School, North Row, this Thursday!
The school has kindly agreed to host a monthly coffee morning on the first
& third Thursday of each month between 9.30 am and 10.30 am.
Children in Year 6 will be providing cakes, so come along for a coffee
and meet up with friends old and new! Everyone welcome!
As the programme continues to
develop - please pray for those
involved in the organising, that
they may hear God’s voice and
heed His direction. Pray too that
BiB will be a means a blessing to
people of all ages across Barrow
and the surrounding area.
