Faith in the workplace seminar
Saturday 13 November, 9:45am-11:45am.
Many of us spend more waking hours at work than we do with family and friends. How are we to think about our work as Christians? How are we are to handle tensions at work? This seminar will offer a chance to think about a theology of work and practical wisdom for the workplace. It will be of interest to people in paid employment and also those who are busy, but not in a paid capacity. We will meet in the church hall. Please sign up below

Why listen to the Bible?
Few would deny the influence of the Bible on our global culture but many would question its relevance today. Some view it with suspicion, others with nostalgia. Christians believe that the Bible enlightens our path through life. On 27th May at 8pm, we will run an on-line discussion to look at the trustworthiness of the Bible documents and their relevance to modern life. The session will last an hour and offer a mix of spoken input and the chance for questions. Join on the zoom link below or click here: http://tiny.cc/xxewoz
