As Christians the central focus of our faith is the per- son of Jesus Christ as the means by which God physi- cally revealed himself to humanity - as the beginning of John's gospel says "The Word made flesh." Jesus says himself in chapter 14 of that gospel ""I am in the Father, and the Father is in me." We spend a lot of time, in church, focusing on Jesus, and rightly so. That often means we spend a lot of time focusing on the New Testament tells us about his life, death, resurrection and then the ongoing birth and development of the church. However Jesus made it clear he was steeped in the ancient scriptures that form what we know as the Old Testament. In his own words he did not come to replace any of that but to 'fulfil' it, because ultimately those ancient words were a signpost to Him and what He would bring. So the Old Testament is a foundational collection of books which we of- ten overlook because we find them hard to understand, or we don't par- ticularly like what they have to say. I cannot deny there are particular parts that seem to have little or no significance to life today, and some of the situations portrayed appear to present an angry vengeful God rather than the God of love that we encounter in the New Testament. However I think that the fine detail can often prevent us from seeing the 'bigger picture' of how God was working (and is working because this has universal significance in all times and all places) through those scrip- tures, albeit with imperfect and fallible people, to ultimately bring about the 'new creation' that the last book of the bible, Revelation, speaks of. With such thoughts in mind I felt it would be good to have the opportuni- ty to get a sense of the 'bigger picture' of the Old Testament with a se- ries of study groups during the summer holidays. Don't be put off by the idea of 'study groups' because I will be using a resource called the Bible Project. This free resource provides short and accessible films which give a wonderful overview of the subject in question. The 'groups' will take place over a four week period starting on the 30th July, at St Nicholas' Church. There will be a different topic each week, with two opportunities in any particular week to take part - you can choose to come along on a Monday evening at 7.30pm or a Wednesday morning at 11am, and if you miss a week and want to catch up I can let you have the online link to the next film. You don't have to 'book in' just turn up. The subjects we will be covering are detailed on the advertisement following on from this article. I look forward to learning more about the background to the Old Testa- ment with those of you who are able to join me during the summer. Blessings, Rev Chris 3 DISCOVER THE OLD TESTAMENT (the easy way!!) @ St Nicholas' Church - Summer 2018 WEEK 1 - THE TORAH Monday 30th July @ 7.30pm Wednesday 1st August @ 11am WEEK 2 - THE HISTORIES Monday 6th August @ 7.30pm Wednesday 8th August @ 11am WEEK 3 - WISDOM & POETRY Monday 13th August @ 7.30pm Wednesday 15th August @ 11am WEEK 4 - THE PROPHETS Monday 20th August @ 7.30pm Wednesday 22nd August @ 11am 4 CEILIDH POSTPONED!

Saturday 29th September For all those who love live music there is a special evening in store! Jon Cunningham and Steve Shorey have agreed to come and provide their services free of charge to help with our fundrais- ing efforts. They are a very talented duo and Jon writes most of his own material. Please come and support the evening which will not fail to entertain you! JON CUNNINGHAM - John discovered Folk Clubs in the mid 70's and immediately found a group of kindred spirits who loved a great song. His songwriting blossomed quickly and he started performing with a number of leading Kent folk musicians. During the 90's he formed a partner- ship with Gary Briley and as a duo they wrote gospel songs and performed in venues across the South East (including a showcase at Ronnie Scotts). Jon is a bronze medal winner at the pres- tigious Tipperary ‘International Song of Peace‘Competition and has been a shortlisted finalist on 3 occasions.
