Christ Church Cathedral – Past, Present and Future??? The Fireside group invites the congregation to join us and our speaker, Chris Oldham, the Cathedral Administrator, who will talk to us about ALL that is happening or NOT happening to the Cathedral in the Square. We will hear all the latest Ins and Outs and Chris is very happy to answer all your questions.  This will be the Inside story not what you will read or hear in the media.  Chris has a powerpoint to show. Come and join the Fireside and Men’s Groups on Monday 9 September at 2pm in the Church.  Everyone is welcome.

MOVIE NIGHT Saturday 28th September from 5.15pm: A Bette Davis Classic – ‘Now, Voyager’ – A tender love story, a taut psychological drama, an inspiring tale of physical and spiritual transformation. Now, Voyager is all three, as well as a Bette Davis career milestone, resulting in her sixth Best Actress Oscar nomination. She magically plays Charlotte Vale, a spinster who defies her domineering mother (fellow Oscar nominee Gladys Cooper) to discover love, heartbreak and eventual contentment. More magic is generated by a top notch ensemble, Max Steiner’s Academy Award winning score. Comes highly rated by one of our Craft group ladies! Irene.
