It has been a great group of folk who have been coming along, approximately a dozen folk around two tables wishing to know more about the Christian faith. There have been loads of questions and lots of interaction with each other. If you want to come along but not signed up, don’t worry just pop in. It starts at 1pm with a light lunch in the cafe/lounge.

“One life. What’s it all about?”

Starting on Sunday 30th August, we are going to be running a ‘Christianity Explored’ Course for seven weeks, at 13:30 until 15:00 in the cafe/lounge at church.  We have 17 people already signed up for the course and we are look forward to getting started with everyone.  It kicks off with a light lunch and then we move into the meeting with a short video.

The course answers big questions in an informal meeting.  There will be time to ask questions with a leader in a safe environment, where the only stupid question is the one which is not asked.

It will take us through one of the books in the bible, Mark.  You can start reading it now here or find it in a Bible, in the New Testament.

For more information you can go to the ‘Christianity Explored’ website or contact us at the church office.
