Prayer is an important part of our faith life - a means by which we are able to communicate with God and bring before Him our heartfelt thanksgivings and petitions. So why not come and join us on a Wednesday afternoon and join with us as we come before God in this way.

Our Bible Studies restart again by looking at the book of Daniel. These are informal meetings where everyone has the opportunity to take part in a friendly atmosphere.

Daniel is one of the most fascinating books of the Bible. The first six chapters contain examples of faith that should inspire all of us, whilst the last six contain visions that will challenge any of us. Daniel was a contemporary of both Jeremiah and Ezekiel. Jeremiah prophesied in Jerusalem before and during the exile, Ezekiel prophesied in Babylon among the exiles and Daniel prophesied in the capital of Babylon. The name Daniel itself means God is my judge…

So why not come and join us on Wednesday evening, as we find out more about Daniel for ourselves in a relaxed and friendly way...
