Advent – A time for the Kids?

Occurring
for 1 hour
Venue
Private Residence in Henton
Address
Private Residence in Henton, United Kingdom

An advent discussion about Jesus – in this first session we are challenged to look at Jesus’ life. Was he meek and mild as the carols would have us believe? Or instead, a demanding and controversial Saviour?

This session is part of a series: ‘Life in a Comma’, which helps us to see Christ as more than just the baby in the manger or the saviour on the cross. The sessions are all standalone sessions, so if you can’t attend all of the sessions you’ll still get something out of it.

Please email [email protected] to find out the location for the session.

Following sessions are at a private residence in Henton on Thursdays at 7:30pm on 27th November, 15th and 22nd January
