A less ‘formal’ form of churchgoing is now available in Ruddington thanks to a new initiative hosted at The Framework Knitters’ Museum. Held on alternate Thursdays from 11am in the Old Methodist Chapel, off Parker’s Yard, organisers say everyone’s invited to ‘Framework Church’. The name was chosen because of the meeting location rather than any connection with the venue itself. Jane Gray, of St Peter’s Church, explains: “A steering group of 7 of us have been meeting in the space for about a year, exploring the idea of a church…

Is There a God?

27th August 201710th September 2017 Graham Wright

There’s no need for you to be an Alpha Male to go along to a FREE course starting next month in Ruddington! The 2017 Alpha Course is now available for booking by everyone and anyone – and the Anglican, Baptist and Methodist churches in our village would like to invite you to join them “…to explore if there is more to life than this!?” With now only 28% of the UK population saying they believe in God or a higher spiritual power (“You Gov” poll, December 2016) it’s a chance given by…
