6.00 pm – 7.00 pmBible Discussion Group

Would you like to engage more deeply with the Bible? Ever wondered how you might get more out of Sunday sermons? Have you got questions that you don't get the opportunity to ask? Would you like to think more deeply about how reading the Bible might impact your daily life? Why not give this discussion group a try?

We will meet weekly to read and discuss the passages that will be read the following Sunday in Church. No previous knowledge needed, no such thing as a silly question. No need to commit to coming every week; the group will operate on a 'drop-in' basis, so just come if and when you are free. Bring a Bible (any edition) if you have one.
