Encountering God at six30

v2a
The start of the year the whole church is looking at being Upward looking and how we encounter God, we’re doing the same thing at six30 evening services on Sundays. We have a great mix of speakers lined up and starting us off in February is Nikki who is leading an evening in the church inspired by the book Be Live Pray by Becca Dean, where we actively look at what prayer is, how we do it and what we can pray about. Check out speakers for the next few months by keeping up to date on our six30 page but also come along on Sunday night if you would like to look more into how to pray day by day.
