COMING TOGETHER
Thursday Morning Art Group has been meeting for the last six years. This is the first time we have exhibited our work together so we have called this exhibition ‘Coming Together’. The only criteria for belonging to the group is to enjoy painting and drawing.We come from a variety of backgrounds some having spent longer with art activities than others and we recognise that given time and space creativity will emerge.
Our group is self taught and we share tips and encouragement. For two hours each week we relax, create and find some pleasure and inspiration being together. We meet in the Clarendon Park area of the city, just near the Queens Road shops. If you are interested in joining us please take an information sheet with more details.

CHINESE SCROLLS
17th – 30th August
An exhibition of Chinese painting and calligraph is currently on display at Bishop Street Methodist Church, Town Hall Square, Leicester LE1 6AF
Many of these beautiful hand-painted scrolls have Christian texts, and the exhibition is in collaboration with the Friends of the Church in China.The exhibition is free, and open during Chapel Café times:

Christians in Britain have a wonderful gateway to get to know Christians in China through the UK charity Friends of the Church in China. Founded in 1984, Friends of the Church in China promotes contact, partnership and mutual understanding between Christians in both countries. FCC is fully ecumenical and has close links with the China Christian Council.
The Chinese scrolls in this exhibition belong to the personal collection of the Revd Fran Rhys and Diane Allen, life members of Friends of the Church China. Before becoming a Methodist minister, Fran worked on the China Desk of the (then) Council of Churches for Britain and Ireland, where she edited the China Study Journal, led youth exchanges to China, and translated for the Archbishop of Canterbury when receiving visitors from The People’s Republic of China. Diane was China Program Associate for 25 years with the General Board of Global Ministries, The United Methodist Church and now volunteers with FCC serving as vice-chair and editor of the bi-monthly FCC Update.
