Starting in the first week of May!

The next series of four one-hour-per-week Zoom seminars will start soon. The seminars are designed to help us share our faith in conversations with family, friends, neighbours, workmates, or even the person we’re standing next to in the supermarket queue!

The seminars go for one hour per week for four consecutive weeks. They are built around [“The Gospel in 3-2-1”](http://three-two-one.org/)as developed by Glen Scrivener and the team at [SpeakLife](https://speaklife.org.uk/) in the UK. During each seminar, Roy will show a video that goes for about ten minutes, then we’ll discuss the video and practice using the content.

Outreach-Encouragement Seminars

Select EITHER the Wednesday group OR the Thursday group.

Wednesday Group: Starts Wednesday 5th May for four consecutive weeks, commencing at 8.00 pm EST

Thursday Group: Starts Thursday 6th May for four consecutive weeks, commencing at 1.30 pm EST

Running from a Gracious God

Talks from Jonah

Our speaker, the fabulous Helen Bell, will be taking us through the book of Jonah, which is sure to delight and surprise! Jonah is not a book for the faint hearted. It’s an epic tale of rebellion, jealousy, near-death experiences, repentance on a grand scale and above all, God’s grace. We are excited to delve into this ancient story together as we learn more about the nature of God, His work of reaching the lost, and our own need for His undeserved goodness.

We hope you can join us!

On Sunday 3rd February Ps Andrew Edwards will be installed as Associate Pastor of Woden Valley Alliance Church.
