INSIDE CORNER
Our Street Fayre at the beginning of June was
a terrific day, lots of sunshine and good cheer. There was music from the Disco
to Songs of Praise in the Churchyard, entertainment from Punch & Judy to
bouncy castles. WWN had an especially good day and raised £74 toward our
production costs thanks to the generosity of Charlecote House giving us tickets
to various Outdoor Theatre productions. The lucky winners of the competition
were Mrs Renton-Jones who won two adult tickets to “Love in Shakespeare”
and Mrs Partridge who won the family ticket for “The Secret Garden”. Thank
you to all who took part and organised the whole day. It was wonderful.

TACKLING THE HARD QUESTIONS
Have you ever wanted to have a go at thinking about the really Hard Questions to do
with faith?
Does science disprove God? If God made a good world, why is it such a mess? Does
religion make peace or stir up conflict? Is there 'good' religion and 'bad'
religion? Why are there so many religions? Can you have a sense of right and
wrong without believing?
Thinking is Allowed
(to echo the BBC programme) and we plan to do some of it on Wednesdays, 21st & 28th July,
at St Peter's Centre 7.30pm, with Dr Christopher Lamb.
There will be a box at the back of St Peter's Church for you to post your
questions in beforehand so that we can get an idea of what people want to talk about.
