“And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: ‘Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.’ And he replied: ‘Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.'” (M. Haskins, 1908)

Hope Explored

Hope Explored is a short course that shows that Christianity is about real hope. It’s one of the easiest ways to introduce someone to Christianity. Rob D will be running the course at 7pm across three Saturdays in January: 7th, 14th and 21st. Is there someone you can invite to come along? There are small flyers on the table at church for you to give out. Places on the course can be reserved via Eventbrite here, or use the QR code opposite.
