Andrew Biggs Going into a local supermarket on 2nd January, I probably shouldn't have been as surprised as I was to see Easter eggs already on sale. I'm not just talking about the miniature ones but the full sized variety. I'm actually quite curious as to whether anybody actually buys theirs this early. I'm also wondering whether I should have left my Christmas decorations up as, at this rate, the supermarkets will have their Christmas fare on show by Easter Monday. Having said that, we at Brent Knoll kept our tree up until the Sunday after twelfth night as we shared it at our joint Covenant service on 12th January. One of my favourite services of the Methodist year, we were, as always, pleased to see our Brean, East Brent and village friends. Our Emmaus course will begin again on Thursday 30th January at 2.30pm and will continue on 13th and 27th February. Our bible study group will be held on the last Monday of each month at 2.30pm. All are welcome. God bless.

Seeking justice is 'absolutely central' to Christian faith By Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury When Christians speak in public about community flourishing or about justice, there’s always someone who will pop up and ask why we’re sticking our noses in, as if these things were miles away from the proper concerns of Christianity. Recently there have been the issues of money and credit unions and power costs of which the church has spoken. Stick to God, we are told. So we do, and we find Jesus saying: Love God, love neighbour.
