Rochdale Unitarians

On Saturday 16 February from 2pm-4pm we will be hosting the first of two discussions about Assisted Dying.

We are offering people the opportunity to consider the complex issues around this emotive subject. Using information from a discussion pack, 'Facts, Arguments, Personal Testimonies and Spiritual Reflections on Assisted Dying', and hearing from a guest speaker we wish to offer members of the congregation and of the wider community a chance to discuss and learn about the subject. The meetings are open to anyone with an interest in this debate, whatever your viewpoint.

The first meeting will be addressed by Rev Jane Barraclough, the minister of Cross Street Unitarian Chapel in Manchester.

The second meeting will take place from 7.30pm-9.30pm on Wednesday 20 February, when the speaker will be Dr David Hudson from Ashworth Street Surgery.

Each meeting will include time for conversation and discussion in a safe and friendly environment. There will be no attempt to coerce anyone to assume a particular point of view; rather the intention is to allow everyone to become more informed about a difficult subject. Please contact Rev Gillian Peel (340465/648461) for more information.

On Sunday 17 February at 10.30am all are welcome to join in morning service, which will be led by Rev Andrew Parker from Stalybridge Unitarian Church.

The modern sequence dance will start at 7.15pm on Saturday 23 February. The whist drive starts at 6.45 pm (please contact Eunice on 643319 to confirm details).

All are welcome to join us for morning service at 10.30am on Sunday 24 February, led by our minister, Rev Gillian Peel.

An advance date for your diaries: the spring lunch will take place on Saturday 2 March at 11.45.
