Matthew Frost is the Chief Executive of TEARFUND. Matthew has agreed to speak at a charity Dinner on the Saturday evening, 16th February.

The Philosophy Quiz Night will happen on the Wednesday night, 13th February at the Blithe Spirit. We've been able to secure the upstairs floor so that we won't be disturbed and won't disturb anyone else. Once again the tried and tested and, dare I say, brilliant combination of Colin Munro and Ed Drew will provide a quiz with a mild philosophical twist. The very successful World View Survey will be available for groups to take so that they can discover what their view of reality is called. The team of Cornhill experts will be on hand to analyse the classification with personal consultations! Richard Perkins will briefly address the significance of world views and encourage people to come along to the remainder of our events.

During the week the Cornhill team will be involved with the boys from Quirky Motion in street work, leafletting and interviewing the people of Balham. They'll help with the children's work on the two Sundays by leading the children's slots. Telferscot school have also kindly invited us in to take their Thursday assembly.

The Women's Bible Study are running an 'express' colours consultation on Friday morning, 15th February from 10 am till 12 noon. Liz Barnard is running the events at the Taylors. Jo Richardson, one of teh Cornhill student will respond to the question 'would Jesus wear Prada?'

As you've already discovered Peter Williams will be speaking on Sunday 17th at both congregational meetings. You can find out more about him here.

We're waiting on details of a few extra things but when the loose ends are tied up we'll let you know.

The above details are of course subject to change, but we'll endeavour to do all we can not to alter the programme.
Please diarise, pray and invite.
