Other Lordsbridge things
Calling all musicians-Feedback collected after last year’s Joint Service suggested that people would like the music to be played by an orchestra type group. Experienced church musician Jan Payne will be leading a group of instrumentalists from across our churches at this year’s service on November 25th. Experienced musicians (vocalists and instrumentalists) of approximately grade 5 standard who can read music are welcome to play. Please contact Jan Payne on janmpayne@gmail.com for more information about rehearsal dates and to be involved.

Sacred Space-Our final Sacred Space evening this year will be on 14th October at 7.30pm in Dry Drayton Church when we’ll reflect on the topic of ‘Road’ and consider how we relate to the other people we meet on our journey through life. We warmly invite you to join us that evening for a time of quiet reflection before the start of another busy week.

Contemplative Prayer: An Exploration-We invite you to share a morning to explore the contemplative journey in prayer. It will be led by Howard Bigg and Caroline Shepherd. Everybody is very welcome: it will be suitable both for people who have no experience of contemplative prayer as well as for those who already have some familiarity with it. Saturday Octo-ber 20th 9:30 to 12:30, Venue: Coton Parish Room, behind 70 High St, CB23 7PL If you would like to know a little more about this, please don’t hesitate to contact Howard Bigg on 01954 211673 or hcbigg40@gmail.com
