Logie & St John’s Cross Church -  Saturday 27th September

This is a day of worship, challenge, fellowship, reflection & support for men. A day inspired by an awareness of some of the pressures & temptations in the lives of Christian men;

• Pressures to take up a lifestyle not wholly consistent with our faith;
• Temptations which lead, often unwittingly, into destructive thought processes;
• Pressures which affect our closest relationships: Temptations which cause us to lose the joy of the Lord.

Throughout the course of the day the intention is to inform & support, to share experiences & successes & to help us reflect on the positive outcomes of our roles as Christian men in society. The day will be a mix of whole-conference sessions & topic seminars on practical, relevant issues; prayer support will be available if required. You will be encouraged & blessed by the openness of the speakers as they share their struggles and victories. The hope is that men will leave at the end of the day better equipped, both spiritually and practically, to deal with life’s temptations, pressures and stresses. Why not come with a car-full - or a bus-full! - of men from your church? This event will take place on Sat 27th Sep at Logie & St John’s (Cross) Parish Church - registration opens at 9.15am for a 9.50am start & close around 4.30pm. Tickets £10 available in advance @ Wesley Owen, CLC, or call 08444 100 100. Tickets also available on the day (subject to availability)

Held at the Mark Henderson Centre (Anne Street, off the Hilltown)

The Passion is a bold event drama, retelling the last week in the life of Jesus Christ and written by Emmy Award winner Frank Deasy (Prime Suspect 7). The Passion will be shown throughout Holy Week on BBC ONE, drawing to a dramatic climax on Easter Sunday. Joseph Mawle (Jesus), James Nesbitt (Pontius Pilate), Paul Nicholls (Judas), Ben Daniels (Caiaphas), Penelope Wilton (Mary), Denis Lawson (Annas) and David Oyelowo (Joseph of Arimathea) lead the cast in this unique and compelling dramatisation.

Jesus shares his Last Supper with the disciples, and teaches them their last and most important lesson. Whilst Judas slips away to fetch the Temple guards, Jesus leads the disciples to the Garden of Gethsemane and tries to prepare himself for what is to come. The next few hours will bring him face to face with Caiaphas, with Pilate and with his own destiny.

Caiaphas is growing increasingly anxious that Jesus’s preaching will provoke unrest and bring in the Romans, and when Jesus appears to threaten the Temple it’s the final straw. As Jesus tries to explain his destiny to the disciples, Caiaphas calls a council and presents it with a stark choice. With Passover approaching, a fateful decision is taken, and Judas finds himself placed in an impossible position.

Joseph Mawle (Jesus), James Nesbitt (Pontius Pilate), Paul Nicholls (Judas), Ben Daniels (Caiaphas), Penelope Wilton (Mary), Denis Lawson (Annas) and David Oyelowo (Joseph of Arimathea) lead the cast in this unique and compelling dramatisation.

Visually arresting and rich in colour, the story is rooted in the chaotic world in which it took place - the city of Jerusalem during Passover week. Set in the political and religious context of the time, it combines both narrative tension and thematic power to convey the events that took place that week.

The Passion places the audience at the heart of the action by telling the story from three points of view - the religious authorities, the Romans and Jesus. For the first time, all the key players are intimately characterised, with Jesus (Joseph Mawle) at the centre. The drama begins with Jesus’ prophetic entrance through the East Gate, following him to his crucifixion and its startling aftermath.

Jane Tranter, Controller BBC Fiction, says: “The Passion is an example of BBC Drama’s commitment to deliver ambitious and distinctive projects. It is a privilege to be making such a major piece of drama from the brilliant Frank Deasy, directed by Michael Offer (The State Within) with an amazing cast.”

Award-winning producer Nigel Stafford-Clark (Bleak House) says: “The Passion is a gripping, multi-stranded dramatisation of not just the most familiar but arguably the greatest story ever told. Both truthful and simple - it gives it back to the audience in a way that will feel as fresh, contemporary and surprising as if it were happening for the first time.”
