Mary's Story

Reverdy Road resident, Mary Ripper (1922-2018), who featured in the TV programme about Reverdy Road on the TV series 'Secret of our Streets' (view it here), wrote the story of her life in a book, I Do It For Love: the Life of Mary Ripper, a Bermondsey Girl which, thanks to her family, readers of BermondseyVicar can now download from our church website for a fascinating insight into the history of a Bermondsey family.

Life Explored

Life Explored is our new Wednesday night course at St James and St Anne's. Last night was our second session of these seven week course.

Life Explored 'helps people uncover what they are really living for, and shows how, in Christ, God meets our deepest desire for happiness.'

After the meal, there is an introductory video - a kind of discussion starter or appetite whetter - followed by buzz groups reacting to the video. Then a bible reading introduces the longer, teaching video, followed by breaking into small groups to look at detail at the second bible reading for the evening.

Last night's theme was the 'The Trustworthy God.' The first bible reading and teaching video was about Adam & Eve and the fall, and the main discussion group was based on Romans 1.18-25, and the effects of mankind's rebellion against God.

The introductory video, Hotel, told a story without words that was picked up in the second video. See what you think - and why not join us for week 3?
