Sunday there will be visiting pioneers at all the churches to talk about the whole experience of Moving Mountains. A great week-end to be in Coniston!

- 10 a.m. Reading Room, Coniston, children’s crafts, family activities, a raffle, cake stall and great coffee!
- A soup lunch will be arranged for those heading off on the X112 for Torver at 13:15

Vision Away Day
Biker’s breakfast, a healing service and Sing & Share
St. Luke’s, the Chapel of Ease in Torver, has just published the May Sunday Service Schedule. Here’s the line-up
ST. LUKE’S TORVER
MAY SERVICES
MAY 1ST BIKERS CHURCH BREAKFAST
9am informal service followed at 9.30 – 11.30 by sharing breakfast together.
Come along for the informal service with a cup of coffee in your hand, or come later for breakfast even if you don’t have a bike! There are so many different types of bikes arriving throughout the morning, from vintage to ‘Easy Rider’, sports bikes and customised trikes. Riders have come from Lancashire, Cumbria, Yorkshire and Tyneside so far! Quality local sausage, bacon and black pudding are served as part of the ‘Full English’ as well as hot porridge tea and coffee. Everyone is made very welcome.
MAY 8th 1662 Holy Communion
9am traditional service with organ accompaniment, followed by coffee and biscuits.
If you like the traditional, more formal yet joyous communion service with hymns played on our recently refurbished organ, this service is for you. A very warm welcome and warm ‘throws’ are given as our little church can be quite cool at times! A hot ‘speciality’ coffee and time to chat makes sure we all leave at the end with an ‘inner glow’.
MAY 15th Healing and Worship Service
9am Worship service with a time of prayer for yourself or someone you know.
This service is accompanied by the organ with worship, Bible readings and sermon. There will be opportunity to receive prayer for yourself or someone you know and this is conducted in a very sensitive manner. Tea and our special coffee end our service at 10am.
MAY 22nd Sing and Share
6pm. informal service in the Old Schoolroom next door, with guest speaker and hot complimentary supper to follow.
If you don’t ‘do’ church, try coming along one evening. Every month we have a different speaker who shares something of their ‘faith journey’ or talent, or gifting. We have had a cup cake maker and beautician, an upholsterer, song writer, band, and the Beech boys support team ‘Christine’ to mention just a few of our interesting speakers so far! We finish with everyone sharing good conversation and a hot supper together. Family, friends and visitors are most welcome.
Please contact Linda on 41777 if you are bringing a ‘gang’, to be sure we have enough food available.
