Having a personal Rule of Lifeis a way of living out the Christian faith with others in a balanced and structured way. The Diocese of Liverpool have pioneered ruleoflife.org.uk, a way doing this together both in the real world and in the online world. Simon is interested in joining with others in making a personal rule of life, based on this model and warmly invites others to come for a light supper to find out more with him on Thursday 3^rdJanuary at 7.30pm in Church. What better way to start the New Year than with something better and corporate than a New Year’s Resolution! To confirm attendance for catering: [email protected]
