Reflection Day in Markfield
A Churches Together in Markfield initiative on Thursday 12th June, from 6.00 - 7.00pm at the Methodist Church in Markfield...
A place to find peace
A place to sit in silence
A place of welcome for everyone
An opportunity to relax, find peace
within ourselves and ‘reflect’ on our place in the world; offering creative
suggestions for reading, thinking and exploring prayer.
Come for as long as you wish and leave when you want.
No intrusive questions, though people will be around if you need to talk or
pray with someone. All are welcome, whether or not you feel church is for you.

Workshop - Economics is For All of Us
There is going to be a
workshop on Saturday 17th May from 10 am till 5pm called Economics is For
All of Us. Its purpose is to help non experts – especially people with an
interest in social justice - make sense of matters of finance and economy that
often come up in the news but seem baffling. The workshop is being run, as part
of their economic justice programme, by the Jubilee Debt Campaign. The
organisers like to know roughly how many people are attending so it would be
helpful if you could let me know if you would like to attend: sruane1@btinternet.com or 0116 2703053. Saturday 17th May 10am to 5pm. St Thomas More parish centre
LE2 3HN (where Southernhay and Knighton Roads meet). There is plenty of parking.
The event is FREE. We are suggesting a shared table for lunch. Many thanks for your help, Sally Ruane (Diocesan J&P Commission
and St Thomas More parish, Leicester).

A Taste of Hinduism
On Tuesday
13 May there will be an opportunity to experience ‘a taste of Hinduism’ at St
Patrick's Parish Centre on Beaumont Leys Lane in Leicester (LE4 2BD) between
7pm and 9pm. There will
be speakers from both Christian and Hindu traditions, plenty of opportunity to
ask questions, and an invitation to sample typical Hindu food. According to the 2011 census 2% of
the population of the East Midlands identify as Hindus with the greatest
concentration in Leicester at 15%. There will be Hindu children in many of our
Catholic schools so this event should be of interest to school staff and
governors as well as to clergy and lay Catholics interested in gaining a better
understanding of our neighbours. If you would like to attend please
notify Patricia Stoat on pmstoat@gmail.com or by phone on 0115 950 9773 [leave a
message]. Our caterers need to know how many people are coming !! We hope to
run a further evening introducing Islam and Muslims in June and this will take
place in Nottingham. Canon Edward Jarosz on behalf of the Diocesan
Interreligious Relations Group.
