We all want to be happy…
But why is lasting happiness so hard to find?
How can our deepest desires be truly satisfied?
We are having some evenings to take a look at these questions and more.
Featuring a combination of short films shot around the world, Bible reading and discussion.
Life Explored is suitable for anyone, no prior Bible knowledge is necessary.
The sessions will start with a party on Monday 22nd January at 7:30pm with refreshments provided. If you are interested in the course, it would help us if you filled out the form below, though this is not necessary.
Please note that there will be no 9am service Sunday 31st December. We would love to see you at the 10:45am service, though!
Merry Christmas!
