Throughout the Autumn season, we are setting aside our normal Life Group meetings and activities.  Instead, we are offering a selection of courses covering a variety of topics from Bible study and Christian growth through to craft and sports.  These events are not restricted to members – anyone is welcome to attend any of the events listed.  Most are just for one afternoon or evening per week for 6 sessions.  If you would like to know more about any of the course or how you can participate, please contact the Church Office
