www.churchofengland.org/resources/pilgrim-courseIn January 2026 there is an opportunity to take part in the first of those courses entitled ‘Turning to Christ’.The course is for people who wouldn’t call themselves Christians but who are interested to find our more; those who are just beginning the journey of discipleship; and folk who have been involved in church for a while and would like some sort of refresher course. It is not assumed that participants necessarily share the beliefs that are being explored, just that they want to find out more about them.If you know someone who might be interested in attending, or if it is something you would like to do yourself, come along to the Introductory Gathering on Sunday 25th January to find out more. It is at 4pm in the Punch Bowl Inn. Please email or text me to book a place at the meeting. This doesn’t commit you to coming on the course.Revd Simon Howard,Associate Priest (SSM) in the Two Valleys Mission Community,The Parish of Underbarrow with Helsington.07719 889577 revdsimonhoward92@outlook.com
