‘Christmas Unwrapped’

A four week Advent Series

On Thursday, 30th November we will begin a 4-week study series called ‘Christmas Unwrapped’. This will be an interactive study group, looking afresh at the nativity stories in Matthew and Luke, with some stimulating input on the Biblical material!

The series will continue on the following three Thursdays (December 7, 14 and 21). Each session will commence at 10:30am and finishing at 12:00 noon and will be held at The Hermitage.

All welcome!
