An introduction to/reminder of Christianity and how
it might improve our lives, as well as enjoying coffee and cookies together. Many people who join a group have never been regular churchgoers.
Why have people joined a group?
There are probably well over a hundred different reasons (one for each person that has joined a group), but these are some of the more common themes:
- “to help me teach the children about God”
- “a loved one died and I wanted to discover more about God”
- “I wanted to develop my Christian faith”
- “I felt I had to find out more”
What did they think?
The most telling thing about the Welcome Course is that nearly everyone who starts the course chooses to follow it through to the end. This is a selection of comments from members of previous groups:
- “lively discussion”
- “I have greatly benefited from the insights and encouragement of other course members”
- “a great way to talk about and grow my faith”
- “sharing thoughts, ideas and concerns with a group of friends”
- “a must for people who feel prompted to find out more”
New course started on 26 September, but it’s not too late to join. If you’re interested, give Paul a ring on 01372 375000.
