Highly recommended - The Bible Course
Would you like to appreciate how the books of the Bible fit together to tell a unique story, forming the basis of our faith?  Whether you are starting out with the Bible or have known it a long time, The Bible Course is a great resource to deepen our appreciation of how it can speak to us afresh.  Each session of just over an hour has a combination of on-line teaching, a clear graphical course booklet, and group discussion. 
In the New Year many of our Life Groups will follow this journey by Zoom.   We invite you, if you are not in one of our small groups, to join The Bible Course by participating in an existing group or a dedicated new group.  
This could be an eight-week commitment or a new chance to be encouraged by continuing to be a part of a group.  If you would like to participate or need further information please contact Richard Jarvest ([email protected]) or phone 01920 487267 or email the church office [email protected]

The Bereavement Journey We are hosting the Bereavement Journey for all those who have suffered loss this year starting on 2nd February 2021, further details in the New Year.

Prayer meetings: We have a church prayer meeting each Friday at 10.00 am via Zoom, for our church and community. Grab a coffee and join in. The link will be in the following email or contact the office (please don’t share the link on social media).
 
Children’s and Youth Ministry Please look out for our email updates. If you have not received it please contact the office. In-person Bubbles, Splash and Xtreme on 20th December 10.30 mornings. 
 
With my prayers for you all.
God bless.
John.
