Join our monthly conversation exploring different aspects of mission. Join us if you have a passion, if you have questions, if you are just curious, or if you don't really think it is for you! This month, join us to think about what good news we really are offering people? Does it always feel like good news? What is the 'Good News'? We will spend an hour together, talking, thinking and praying about mission. And over the coming months we will discover more of where God might be leading us, as individuals, churches, and as a synod. Don’t worry if you can’t make it each month, each time is a one-off. Get in touch for the zoom details and pass them on, and then come along next time. Contact Jon Steel to join in.
