Faith Pictures Course - for Messy Church Leaders and Helpers.
Calling all Messy Church leaders and helpers! Faith Pictures is a short course developed by the Church Army and designed to help Christians talk about their faith naturally. We believe that part of supporting our Messy Churches is to look at how we talk about our own faith. Faith Pictures will help us to do that in an enjoyable and informative way, journeying together. The course is just four sessions, each lasting an hour and a half, venue, dates and times are as follows:
Cuthbert House, Stonebridge, Durham, DH1 3RY
