For 4 weeks on Tuesday evenings at 19:30 starting on 25th September (see Whats on), Mother Katie and Father Donald will be taking the new reading course. We will be studying Paula Gooder’s book “Phoebe”, the gripping first work of fiction from renowned New Testament scholar Paula Gooder, which brings alive first-century Christianity and the apostle Paul as never before. Sign up at the back of Church or contact us.
