Happening on Monday - a chance to reflect on what Tyndale's achievement of producing the first English New Testament out of the original Greek means 500 years on. A free event at the Cambridge Round Church, with wine & cheese too. 'Eat, drink and be merry' is appropriately a phrase Tyndale coined!

What’s this!? Another teaser!?!?! 👀 Over at MEMRN HQ, we’re getting ready to share a very exciting event announcement with you! But before we share the big reveal on Friday, we want to know what you think it's going to be! 🤔 Take your guess at our event theme and comment your ideas below! 👇

At the top of the image we see a window into a heavenly scene. Marble arches shimmer amongst pastel coloured clouds and golden light floods through the towering spires. Below, a rich green forest scene is punctuated by a portal into another world, with the mountains beyond the portal faintly visible. To the edge of the image, a dragon rises from a purple wisp of smoke. At the foot of the image, we are confronted with the flames of a hellish landscape, over which looms a terrifying demon figure in silhouette.
