Left Side Up

Open book is back! This is Bible study with a difference, asking the questions we've never been able to, learning from each other & being honest about our experience of scripture. Send an email or DM if you're interested in attending & let us know if you prefer Zoom or F2F.

While we are in this weird downtime where no-one knows what day it is, why not take 15 mins and fill out our Faith and Mental Health Survey? The Faith and Mental Health Project in NI is reliant on your contribution! leftsideupni.com/faith-and-ment…

It takes a 7 year old to say this?

Here is the Zoom link for Open Book at 7.30pm on Sunday evening. us02web.zoom.us/j/82244433243?… Meeting ID: 822 4443 3243 Passcode: openbook

Hi again, i hope you are able to join us on Sunday the 21st of November to look at another fabulous passage in the bible. This week we will be looking at Colossians 1:9-23. There is plenty of spectacularly good news here, but also a few bones to chew on as well.

We are delighted to introduce Mandy Cook and Tender Wild as they offer these 6 sessions of listening and support for people who identify as LGBTQ+.. contact Mandy on tenderwildni@gmail.com, All contacts and personal information will be treated with complete confidentiality.

Our Weekly Open bible conversation is back after our wonderful Open Table Event last week. Send us a message for the Zoom link or come and join us in person.

@AndyFitchet @BBCNews @1Body1Faith @DignityandWorth @TweetAffirm Every blessing Andy! I am so sorry that you have been treated so poorly by your church and so glad to hear that you have found a new place to worship and to serve the God who has never rejected you.

I recently shared my story with the ⁦@BBCNews⁩ hoping that it will stop it being repeated. There are fantastic organisations; ⁦@1Body1Faith⁩, ⁦@DignityandWorth⁩ and ⁦@TweetAffirm⁩ who are there to push for change and offer advice. bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-eng…

Please join us this week in person or on Zoom to take a fresh look at an uncomfortably public moment in the Life of of Jesus. Honestly, how would you feel if this happened to you, or even if you were out for a meal and saw this happening to one of your best friends? Awkward!

Have you seen that girl? is 6 yrs old today! 6 yrs since I dared to share I was living with perinatal mental illness. 6 yrs of campaigning, raising awareness & more. I've met & worked with so many wonderful people. Out of all the worthwhile moments this 👇 tops them all!

@irobyn @littlewarrior @corrymeela @duanalla @nomadpodcast In principle it’s a “yes”, but, if I have managed to find a new job by then, which I very much hope to do, I don’t know much about my availability.

@LeftSideUpNI @littlewarrior @corrymeela @duanalla @nomadpodcast April or May. I’ll be there for an extended period! DM me for more and we can set a meeting with my contact in London who is preparing my UK speaking tour!

@littlewarrior just a note to let you know I’ll be in the UK in the Spring for my book. Any chance of doing an event together or with y’all?
