Learning about our Faith

There are many ways to learn about the Christian faith, not only by coming to St Mary’s services, but by joining study and discussion groups in the local area. Details of courses and study sessions are detailed below.

Bible Study

Our Lent Course for 2020 is based upon a book called ‘Say Yes to Life’, written by Ruth Valerio (available to purchase for £7.00 from Rev. Rachel). It is about our relationship with God’s Creation and we will look at the themes of light, water, land, the seasons, other creatures and the Sabboth rest in the light of environmental, ethical and social concerns for both us and all those across the world.
