NEW GROWING IN FAITH AND FRIENDSHIP
Tuesday 6th October & first Tuesday monthly, 7:00pm

has enabled and encouraged growing in faith. Trusted relationships mean a safe space in which to explore questions about faith and its application to daily life. So we'd like to establish a regular opportunity for anyone and everyone to come together and deepen both friendships and faith. We'll begin with a social time, move into faith refection and end with prayer.
Come along, bring a friend, make some new friends!
