Work and Pray at Grace Fellowship
Friday 27 & Saturday 28 January | 9.00am-1.00pm

We are so thankful to God for the gift of Grace Fellowship. We now need to get it ready so we can begin to use it as God leads us. At our work parties on the above mornings we hope to achieve a lot of cleaning, sorting, moving stuff and various other tasks. If you know you can come and help, for an hour or for the whole time, please let Daniel know. We also want to pray together on these mornings. On Friday we will stop work at midday and go for a prayer walk together. On Saturday we will begin the day with a prayer meeting at 9.00am before we start work. Please do feel free to come and pray on either day even if you can't join the work party.

Hope Explored
Monday 2.30pm-4.15pm at GBC
A 3 session course on 6 February, 13 & 20 February
(Please note the start date for this 3 week course has been delayed by a week - previously advertised as 30 January)
Booking required

Looking at the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus in Luke's Gospel, HOPE EXPLORED shows that Christianity is about real hope: a joyful expectation for the future, based on true events in the past, which changes everything about my present.

Whatever people do or don't believe, this course offers an opportunity to explore, to discuss, and to discover the hope, peace, and purpose Jesus offers. Especially good for those who are exploring or new to faith, so do invite friends or neighbours as you feel led.

There will be a small cost to cover course materials (please have a word with Carolyn if this is a concern for you). Also contact Carolyn if you have any questions and to book.
