We are delighted to invite you to an inspiring five session course this Lent. The aims of ‘Alive in Christ’ are that each member of the group will understand more deeply the nature of God as a loving Father and experience God’s love in a way that will enable them to build their lives on it. To grow in love for one another and learn the importance of forgiving one another and relationships will gradually be transformed as they experience the security of knowing that God loves them. Also to become confident about serving Jesus as a member of his Body. 
We hope you will be encouraged to meet with our Lent Group.
