Lent Groups

Mondays in Starbeck: "Blowing your cover"
Six evenings at St Andrew's; "Blowing your cover" is a unique & fresh approach to evangelism, that is designed to equip and release churches to confidently share their faith in a natural way.
Booklets for the course are £5 but the church will pay for these and anyone willing to make a donation can do so directly or through the collection.

Mondays: Touching... : town centre at St Peter's 12:45pm. A series exploring how Christians work out their salvation in their day to day lives, deepening our relationship with God. Speakers share something of their work, and how their faith strengthens it. 11/2 Tim Hurren '...the family – being faithful at home'; 18/2 Alan Mair '... the Community – being faithful in the church'; 25/2 Mark Carey '... discipleship – being more faithful followers'; 3/3 Pam Shaftoe '... time – making time for faith'; 10/3 Tony Collins '... daily life – being faithful at work'; and 17/3 The Dean '...
