\"IMG_3637\"<\/a>Well, what a busy day – I’ve just come from a meeting of the Dock Directors, following a get-together of the Wee Tram Directors, which came after a brainstorming session with the Dock Ops Team, and now I’m just grabbing a quick coffee as the Dock Chaplains (a motley bunch if ever there was one) arrive for our monthly meet-up… \u00a0Safe to say that 2016 is well and truly underway!<\/p>\n

For anyone else zooming around in the flurry of activity of the first week of a new year, here’s a little snatch of poetry that had a huge impact on me over the Christmas holidays – especially those lovely days just after Christmas, spent curled up with the cat in front of a blazing fire. \u00a0The full poem (which is called Pax by DH Lawrence<\/a>) is well worth seeking out:<\/p>\n

So, onwards with 2016 – and a few dates for your diary and news of upcoming events at The Dock:<\/p>\n

\"~1449237971~15312736907_e2422ac0dd_o\"<\/a>Saturday Nights at The Dock…
\n<\/strong>We’ve decided to mess with the days of the week this year: Sundays have become Saturdays<\/a> in Dock-World and we’ll now hold our monthly service of praise and prayer on the first Saturday of each month at 5:30pm. \u00a0<\/strong>It was great to see all the gang on the first Saturday of the new year – and whether you joined us for our twilight walk (on an unexpectedly gorgeous wintery afternoon) or later in Dock Cafe, hopefully you enjoyed\u00a0starting the year\u00a0with a \u00a0burst of fellowship and inspiration as\u00a0much as I did!<\/p>\n

Wednesday Nights at The Dock…
\n<\/strong>\"2015-05-15<\/a>As well as our\u00a0monthly Saturday nights, we’ve now got a brand new gathering every Wednesday in\u00a0Dock Cafe from 6:30pm onwards. \u00a0The cafe will be open each Wednesday evening with coffee, tea\u00a0and even a wee bite to eat on the menu – and for anyone who would like to chat, ask questions about faith, or receive prayer for anything at all, there’ll be a team here in the cafe very happy to talk to you!<\/p>\n

\"Andy-Kind\"<\/a>And a date for your diary…
\n<\/strong>Keep the evening of Sunday 21st February free for another first in Dock-World – our first ever Dock Cafe Comedy Night<\/strong> with the superb Andy Kind<\/a>\u00a0– if the start of the year and the dark nights are leaving you feeling bit gloomy – this will cheer you right up!
