St Cuthbert’s Parish Church, Church lane, Ormesby, Friday, 21st July 2017, 3:30pm

We are hosting an initiative, launched by the Church of England, to help bring people together to talk about those big questions about death, dying and funerals in a relaxed café style environment.

‘GraveTalk is a café space to talk about death, dying and funerals. It is organised by the local church and can be held in a hall, a home or a real café. At each event a pack of GraveTalk questions are distributed – there are 52 specially written open questions which get people talking about death, dying, funerals and loss. There are no answers, just conversation. And it’s open to people of all faiths and doubts.’

Here for everyone, organising a funeral, going to a funeral, after a funeral, my funeral plans or anyone with questions about death, dying or funerals. Light refreshments will be served at this event.

All are welcome

A team from St Cuthberts is now regularly taking Open the Book (Bible Society) into 3 primary schools in our parish, and has visited Priory Woods School.

Open the Book is a fabulously accessible, concise and fun way of bringing Bible stories to life for school children. The stories are carefully put together by educators, and acted out in a simple but creative and visual way by a team of 4 or 5 volunteers from church.

The presentation takes only 10 minutes and is usually presented to the whole school during assembly. Children are encouraged to participate too. Each story-time ends with a very short optional prayer that is relevant to the story and to children’s everyday life e.g.: saying sorry, sharing what we have, being kind, etc.

We are always looking for more people to join the team, so if you have a few minutes to spare on weekdays, and think this may be for you, please speak to Rev Jen or Jill. Thank you. www.openthebook.net
