LENT COURSE

Wheathampstead Churches Together is pleased to offer the SPCK York Lent course this year – God Has No Favourites by Carmody Grey, with five sessions, starting 15th February. The main idea is to share different experiences of Christianity and explore what the bible says.  Course leaders have an audio with a relaxed conversation expanding on topics raised in the course booklet with contributions from people of different Christian backgrounds, and booklets will be available for everyone attending.

A choice of times and venues is offered. If you would like to join us, please sign up using this link or contact the church office 01582 834031
