Special events

Dr Alison Cooke, an independent consultant in engineering and environmental management, will discuss international efforts to mitigate climate change, including those that led to the Paris Accords in 2018 and to subsequent meetings in Madrid in 2019, and now planned for Glasgow in 2020. She will also suggest how local communities and individuals can make a difference.

This is the first in the Spring series of free talks and recitals for the community on Friday nights and weekends at St Augustine's. The full programme can be downloaded here

Tom and Gill Ambrose visited Sri Lanka last year and experienced an extensive tour throughout the country with a wonderful guide who provided an excellent introduction to the cultures and history of this beautiful island off the southern coast of India. In this illustrated talk they will share their experience of the geography and wildlife, as well as the complex history and culture of Sri Lanka.

Tickets are available in the churches or from Margaret Cooper, at £12, which includes a hot two course meal with soft drinks. You may bring your own wine, if you wish.

There will be two further travel evenings, in February and April:

Saturday 29th February; Paul and Sylvia Custerson will guide you around Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands

Saturday 4th April; Bill Block will present a Trinidad and Tobago safari

This is an ecumenical Prayer group for the churches at Castle that will help us deepen our prayer lives and come closer to God in Quiet Reflection and Prayer. We will meet monthly in each church in rotation. We hope that the timing will enable those at work to drop in on their way home.

After greetings and refreshment there will be some opening prayers, usually a time of Bible reading and/or poetry, perhaps followed by some music. This will lead us into a short period of silence before our main time of prayer. The atmosphere will be informal, the prayers freely formatted; ‘the Spirit is the wind in the sails of our prayer’ (Michael Reeves).
