Forthcoming events in 2012

February at 6.00 pm: A musical evening -
to celebrate the return to the Community church you are invited to
join in a Candlemass evensong followed by wine and cheese, then back into church
for an evening of music presented by friends and brethren. Tickets at £5.00
will be available at the South Porch door but it would be helpful to book
in advance. Details here.

15 March - "Seeing and Believing? Religious Art and Religious Experience" 2.00 pm - 4.30 pm at the Mirfield Centre. Led by Graham Howes. Cost: £7.50 Information here and further details plus booking form here.
17
and 18 March: Organfest - CR has a beautiful new organ but
needs to pay for its installation. Accordingly, anyone is invited who would like
to play the organ in the church (with its fantastic acoustic!) to find
sponsorship from friends of £200 (or more!) to play for an hour. If organists
can bring their supporters to listen that would be even better. Contact Br Jacob
