Church news for the week beginning 30th July 2016
This weekend’s Bible Talk
This weekend Jodie begins a six week series on “Two ways to Live”, with the first talk ‘God as loving ruler and creator’, from Genesis chapter 1 verses 26 to 31, and Revelation chapter 4 verses 6 to 11.
You, me and the Bible course
At the same time as our ‘Two Ways to Live’ talk series we’re going to be going together through the workbook ‘You, me and the Bible’. If your small group leader’s not doing it then you can grab a copy for just $5 and do it with a friend.
