Relationships 25 APR
How does God equip us to meet the challenges of the relationships we are called to live in? How can we grow in our ability to communicate, to handle conflict, to forgive and to build one another up in love?
Pastoral Care 16 MAY
How do we care for one another as the Body of Christ, go the extra mile yet maintain boundaries and expectations? How do we care for those we find it difficult to care for? How do we care for those struggling with mental health issues?
Each of these sessions are open to everyone as we seek to be equipped and encouraged in our everyday walk as a disciple of Christ. How do we become more like Jesus? How can we be witnesses for Him in our homes, our families and our places of work? Whether you want to join the prayer ministry team, are leading a small group or simply want to grow as a disciple, then these mornings are for you.
All sessions FREE! Complimentary tea, coffee and pastries available.

The Academy of Life helps us to explore our discipleship values as a church. This ‘express’ course contains seven 2 hour sessions led by Mark Powley, looking at how we can experience more of the life God has given us through Jesus. Sessions are practical, interactive, and suitable for both new and older Christians. From the Pure Life session I learned to move on from sins in the past, rather than constantly going back. The time of prayer was really powerful. Bold Life has increased my confidence. Now, with friends, I’m running an Alpha Course for men.
All sessions FREE! Tea, coffee and cake available.
