Lent and Easter Study Book
This year the Lent and Easter study book, that you can follow at home and discuss in your Home Groups, is another in the series by Tom wright 'Lent for Everyone - Luke'. This is similar to last year's popular book with daily readings and notes, going through the Gospel According to Luke.
The book is available new from SPCK, Eden and other sellers from £9 to £10, some with free postage. We can do a bulk buy and get a discount (down to £7.50 incl. postage) if you'd like MBC to order a copy for you (sign-up by Sun 1st Feb, pay in cash or by BACS). Individual copies are also available second-hand, but not in bulk, and cost around £3 to £5 if you would prefer to order your own copy.
If you want us to order a copy but are worried about the cost then contact Rev Clarke as the Fellowship Fund would be happy to cover some or all of the cost for you, please just ask.

Recycling
Following the church meetig and looking at what was tiked on the sheet, Angela has signed up to a recycling programme that will give BBGA money for recycling biscuit and snack wrappers. We can recycle any brand of biscuit, cracker and cake wrappers such as digesties, rich tea etc. This includes the likes of Penguin's etc but not chocolate bars like Mars, Snickers etc, or the inside plastic tray as they are made from a diffrent material. Cardboard innards should go in household recycling. Please bring clean and dry wrappers to church and deposit in the box. We need a kg before we can send a shipment. Each kg earns 200points and we get a 1p per point.
Christmas Card Recycling
There is a box at the back of church for the cards which can't go in your recycling bins (those with foil, glitter or embellishments). It will be there until 1st February. I will then send them to a free recycling scheme.
Coffee and Craft
There is a box in the Coffee Lounge to leave used stamps. These are collected for Bone Cancer Research. Thank you. Alaine
