An invitation for the ladies

The new season of Women’s Bible studies is kicking off! You are warmly invited to join us at Priory Street for our first event, on 30th September at 7.30pm. We’ll start with a lush lasagne dinner all together and then satisfy our spirits with a taster of Hosea! It will be a fantastic night for the women of CBC to kick off our journey through this small, but rather stunning book. Please bring a £5 donation with you on the night towards the cost of the meal, and, to reserve your place, sign up here.
