Information |
|
 You'll
find our small Christian Bookshop is located next to the church in the
High Street
It
is open Monday to Saturday 10:00 - 13:00.
The small but well stocked
bookshop has Bibles, books, cards, gifts, CDs and many other items on
sale. If you find that we don’t have what you want in stock, we will do
our best to obtain it for you.
A range of Traidcraft goods
is also available, encouraging people to buy fairly traded goods in
support of food producers in poorer parts of the world.
"Fairtrade
does what it says on the label; it guarantees a better deal to producers
in the developing world.
This means
a stable price which covers their production costs, along with a premium
that their organisation will be able to reinvest either in the business
or social and environmental schemes among the wider community."
From
www.fairtrade.org.uk You can also visit
an Island web site for Fairtrade
www.iwff.org.uk/
You'll
find a warm welcome from one of our team of volunteers.

Have you
started 2012 resolving to read your Bible more? Are you wondering what could
you help you with this aim? Well, there are lots of Bible reading resources
available and we want to mention a few of them here. Many of you will be
familiar with some of the printed materials available from various
publishers but you may not be so aware of online resources. Scripture Union
has an excellent free online resource called WordLive which can be
accessed by going to
www.wordlive.org
and clicking on the ‘Get started today’ button on that page or,
alternatively, to go straight to the daily Bible reading sections go to
www.wordlive.org/session
Each day has a new Bible passage with fresh resources to use in your quiet
time with God. There is a choice of three formats and you can switch between
them very easily;
-
WordLive
classic aims to help you develop your relationship with God in a simple
practical way with additional material if you want to go deeper and
study the background to the Bible passage. There is an ‘audio’ option
which gives an audio version of the reading, the ‘main point’ comment
and the ‘question for response’ as well as worship songs for the day.
-
alt.wordLive uses sketches, animations, meditations, music, blogs, vlogs
with social, topical, funny and serious elements
-
WordLive
Lectio is, perhaps, a bit less easy to use.
There is also a free
SU online resource for 11-14year olds called SUbmerge which can be accessed
at
www.submergebibleguide.wordpress.com
or via facebook at
www.facebook.com/submergebibleguide
To go back to
printed materials …. here are some details of a selection from what’s
available…………
CWR publish
several different Bible reading notes for daily use including …….
-
‘Every
Day With Jesus’ - contains extra study questions
-
‘Inspiring Women every day’ - written by women for women
-
‘Life
every day - written by Jeff Lucas’ - life application notes, often with
a touch of humour and Jeff Lucas has further comments on each day’s
notes on facebook at
www.facebook.com/jefflucasuk
‘Cover to
Cover every day’ - daily teaching notes
The
Scripture Union range of daily Bible reading notes includes ‘Daily
Bread’ - from a wide range of authors
‘Encounter with God’ - aims to lead you to a deeper understanding about
what God is saying to you and to his world today
‘Closer
to God’ - a mixture of themed and systematic approaches to the Bible
including ‘going deeper’ meditations and ‘looking outward’ articles
offering practical suggestions to help you live out your faith. ‘Closer
to God’ also uses a weekly format that gives more flexibility in how you
approach each series so if you miss a day it may be easier to catch up
without feeling guilty!
Brf also
publish daily Bible reading notes. These include….
-
‘New
Daylight’ - each day has a short Bible passage, comment and prayer or
point for reflection
-
‘Guidelines’ - provides weekly units broken down into 6 sections plus an
introduction giving the context of the passage and a final section of
points for thought and prayer
-
‘The
Upper Room’ - each daily meditation is written by a reader of ‘The Upper
Room’ and includes a recommended Bible reading with a key verse,
reflection and prayer
-
‘Day by
Day with God’ is aimed at women so the Bible text comment is applied
especially for women. It has suggested prayers, meditations and further
readings to explore.
Not all daily
Bible reading notes are available in large print but some of them are. Large
print versions of ‘Every day with Jesus’ and ‘Daily Bread’ are readily
available and ‘The Upper Room’ is available in a large print version through
‘The Torch Trust’ which is a Christian organisation that produces a range of
Bible resources for those who are blind or visually impaired.
Some printed
resources are available for children and teenagers. These include ‘Topz’ for
7-11year olds (the Topz gang teach biblical truths through word games,
puzzles, cartoons, simple prayers and Bible readings), YP’s for 11-15year
olds and ‘Mettle’ for 14-18year olds.
Printed daily
Bible reading notes cover two to four months per issue and prices range from
£2.85 to £3.99 per issue.
As you can
see there are lots of things available but as they are ‘dated’ items we
cannot hold a stock of these in the church bookshop for you to look through.
However, if you would like to buy a single issue of anything to try, before
making a decision on what suits you, we would be happy to help. |
