Freedom Cafe is followed, after a short break, by 3.2.1 for Jesus; a spiritual space which includes recorded music, readings and the opportunity for a prayer.  Many stay on from the Cafe to enjoy this time, appropriate for Church-goers and non-Church-goers alike.

This Sunday 11th September at 6.30pm in St Gregory’s Church we welcome local talent back for a second in a series of concerts.  The quality at our first concert was astounding and we look forward to this second event in anticipation.  Once again David House, our choirmaster brings together local talent playing a variety of instruments.  There’s no ticket price and all are welcome.  A collection for church funds will be taken.  A further concert will follow in the Autumn.

Following on from Freedom Cafe, there’s 3.2.1 for Jesus, a rich yet accessible service for all.  This Saturday, 1.30pm at St Gregory’s Church Hall, Colyford Road, Seaton

To God how did you get invented?  From Lulu, oxo

A beautiful and honest letter deserves a loving reply, and that’s just what Lulu Renton, aged five, got.  Her letter and the letter she got back is remeniscent of  the “yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus” letter of 1897, just better written, and I think, equally worthy of its place in posterity.

There’s been a lot on the blogosphere quoting Rowan William’s reply, but I think it reads at its best in the original setting.  Alex Renton, Lulu’s dad, writes about it in his own blog.  Read it here.

Saturday 14th from early ’till late – local Christians will be reading from their favourite Bibles – at the United Reformed Church, Cross Street, Seaton.  These are people who have found the Bible come to life for them as they have read it.  They will be reading their favourite bits, and you are welcome to come and hear what has inspired and moved them.  From 10 to 12 jo can also join in the “Christians Together” coffee morning and relax with a drink and a nibble.

Christians in Seaton are celebrating a birthday!  It’s 400 years since one of the greatest works of English literature was published – the King James Bible – when Shakespeare was writing and the Globe theatre was new.  Since then it’s travelled around the world and been joined by many companions in contemporary language.

This Friday 13th from 5-6pm there’s part one of our local celebrations, in a fun filled hour with song, drama, beatboxing, and chips.  All takes place in the courtyard of the Eyre Court Hotel, Queen Street, Seaton.
