Anxiety Unwrapped – A Short Course
This is an opportunity to explore, understand and talk to others about the common issue that we all live with – anxiety.

This 4 session course will look at how we manage anxiety and the importance faith has in the process. The first 3 dates are:
Evenings – 7.30pm
January 31st
Febuary 14 & 28th
One more to be added
The course will be led by Mark Evetts

The Fingerprints of God – Medicine and Healing
Wisdom can help us lead healthier more resilient lives. Herbs and plants, noted in several passages, help restore our bodies. And God also brings about supernatural healing. Dave Roberts helps us explore these 3 fingerprints of God.
The Fingerprints of God – The Witness of Nature
One of the ways that we can see the work of God around us is noted and rooted in the belief that God created all that we see around us in the natural world. This in turn speaks to us of his beauty and his character. Join Sharon Roberts as she explores this and helps us understand what it means for us now.
Stewardship – How Your Giving Helps Build the Kingdom
God gives all of us resources to help us live for him, serve others and enjoy the place where we are living. Roland Brown helps us explore biblical patterns to help us live with wisdom and use those resources well. He explains the church budget and how our contributions of money are used. He gently provokes us to consider additional giving.

Mission Minded Church – Esther Wiggins on the restoration of the woman with the issue of blood
Esther explores the story of the woman with the issue of blood to help us understand that Jesus did not merely heal her through her act of touching the hem of his garment, but he also restored her very publically after years of social and spiritual isolation. Esther then helps us discern how this will help us understand our mission in the world today.
