The final Delving Deeper will happen on Saturday 3rd November at 7:45 at our house.
Do come if you can (even if you have not been before) for what is a mix of the social and the thoughtful. We are planning to explore the relationship between science and faith and in so doing expect to address issues such as, how do we respond to writers like Richard Dawkins or how should we understand the early books of Genesis?

Clocks GO BACK!

CLOCKS go back one hour from Saturday 27th midnight so everybody has one extra hour...... in bed/ to make a nice English breakfast/ to read the Bible before DNA Sunday Service!!

DNA Rugby night photos

It was a great time of food, songs, fellowship and a super finals (rugby!) last Saturday. Although there was some disappointment among the English fans, the better team won...There was joy among the Springbok fans.

Thanks to Paul and Karen for organising a splendid evening...

FINALS!

English supporters should bring a sense of humour as well as gratitude for the miraculous events of the last few weeks,
