The Wey Forward March - May 2021

Circuit Day Outing to Oxford Saturday 4 September 2021

ADVANCE NOTICE

SUBJECT TO COVID - 19 RESTRICTIONS BEING RELAXED BY SEPTEMBER, I am planning a circuit day outing to OXFORD on SATURDAY 4 SEPTEMBER. This will be an opportunity to visit some of the historical locations associated with John and Charles Wesley, who were both undergraduates at Christ Church, with John later becoming a Fellow of Lincoln College. In 1725 a small group of students (which became known as THE HOLY CLUB) began meeting in Oxford to pray, study and express their faith through compassionate social outreach. Led by the Wesley brothers this was the beginning of a movement which would evolve into the Methodist Church with over 80 million members worldwide today.

Travel will be by luxury coach with on - board toilet and complimentary hot drinks.

P ick - ups in Cranleigh, Godalming, Guildford, Merrow, Woking and Walton - on - Thames.

£27.50 per person payable on the coach on the day.

NOTHING TO PAY NOW

"Lockdown Letters" were originally written as weekly pieces, sent to friends and acquaintances during the first five months of the national lockdown, following the spread of the global COVID - 19 virus in March 2020. Personal reflections on the positive and negative effects of the lockdown, the letters are a kind of commentary on this strange time which has the potential to change our lives, society and the world, for years to come. Price £6.50. Profits from sales of 'Lockdown Letters' will be equally divided between Medical Aid for Palestinians and The Fund for Human Need, a small, effective Methodist charity.

Copies can be obtained from Warren at w.bardsley39@btinternet.com or 01543 255292.
