Somewhere warm to visit during the winter months

How are you enjoying the winter? Some people enjoy the cold, whilst others wish for the spring to come, with the promise of warmer weather. Whether you are a “cold” person or a “warm” person, we have just the place for you to come to enjoy warm, friendly company, a hot drink and time to talk about the Bible! As an added bonus you can browse through the well-stocked shop, borrow books or a DVD or just sit and read. The cold winds may blow outside, but you’ll be warm and cosy!

The Gospel in a Day

Sunday September 5
10am – 4pm

Have you ever wondered why there are four Gospels? Come and join us as we look in depth at some of the characteristics of the Gospels.

In this one day course, which includes lunch, we will look at Jesus’ tours throughout Israel and his ministry.

We will consider Jesus’ preaching style, looking at his use of parables - with a particular focus on the kingdom of God and the hope this continues to provide for us today.

Join us in searching the scriptures together as we see their consistency, though written by many different authors. See how and why Jesus quotes the Old Testament.

Finally we will consider the death and resurrection of Jesus, and the wonderful hope this provides for you today.

Children’s activities will be provided throughout the day. Be sure to book in to ensure your spot in this fantastic course where we will discover the Gospels in a day!

Please book in for this course.
