One life. What's it all about?



We all get just one life to live and I think, deep down, we’re all asking the same question: “What’s it all about?“ That’s the question we’re going to be thinking about in our Sunday morning church meetings in the run up to Easter. The meetings will be held in the church building and will be informal, relaxed and short (under an hour).

Using material from the Christianity Explored course, we’ll be giving time to thinking about the big questions in life (like “Why are we here?“ and “Is there a God?“) and to explore the life of the person at the heart of the Christian faith - Jesus Christ.

Perhaps you’re a convinced atheist, a committed Christian, or something in between; maybe you have lots of questions you want to ask or you’re happy just sitting and listening; perhaps you go to church or maybe you’ve never been. Whoever you are and whatever your background, Christianity Explored is a great opportunity to explore what life is all about and we’d love to see you.

Below are the dates, time and outline of our programme:
Sunday 12 Feb @ 10am What are we doing here?
Sunday 19 Feb @ 10am Who is Jesus?
Sunday 26 Feb @ 10am Why did Jesus come?
Sunday 4 March @ 10am Why did Jesus die?
Sunday 11 March @ 10am Why did Jesus rise?
Sunday 18 March @ 10am How can God accept us?
Sunday 25 March @ 10am What does it mean to follow Jesus?

There are no strings attached to our invitation. So, whether you want to come for just one, or all seven weeks, that’s fine. We won’t hassle you, or pester you to come back the following week if you aren’t able to, or don’t want to.

If you’d like to know please do contact me on 781391.
