BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
Would you like to read through the whole Bible in 2027? We are planning to use Paul David Tripp’s Everyday Gospel, which takes us through the Bible in one year, with daily readings and helpful reflections. Alongside our individual reading, we would also love to meet throughout the year to encourage one another and discuss what we have been reading. Our provisional meeting dates are Sundays before the evening service – 31st January, 21st March 30th May, 27th June 26th September, 28th November2027 and 30th January 2028. There’s no pressure to attend the group to take park in the reading plan- you are very welcome to simply follow along at home! The book will cost £15 and if you would be interested in getting a copy or joining the group, please speak to Steven.

321 COURSE
We will be running Speak Life’s 321 course on Wednesday evenings in January. This will be a relaxed opportunity to explore the Christian faith and ask questions. It is a great chance to invite a friend, neighbour or family member who doesn’t yet have a faith. More details to follow, but why not start thinking and praying about someone you could invite.
