The Pilgrim Course: Turning to Christ
This is a six week course for enquirers or new Christians who want to find out more about the Christian faith. Each session includes reflection on a reading from the Bible and the opportunity for discussion.
It will be held at Mark and Ruth's home beginning on Tuesday 24th February at 7pm.
Have a word with Paul if you are interested.
Sacred Space in St Nicholas Church: Sunday evenings during Lent at 4pm.
These are evenings of quiet reflection (4.00-4.30) followed by Bible study and Worship (4.30-5.15). These evenings are for the whole parish and not just for the congregations. Leaning how to pray and praying better will be at the heart of each evening, as the disciples asked, ‘Lord, teach us to pray’.
