LENT
HOUSE
GROUPS
The Banstead Five Churches are running house groups for five
weeks in Lent - friendly little groups, meeting once a week, in which
we can listen and talk about our common concerns.
This year we are following the course - When I Survey,
produced by York Courses. The Cross is the symbol of our faith, but
Jesus' death was not a dead end - it's the gateway to life. We'll are
exploring some key themes arising from the Crucifixion, with the help
of the course materials.
Everyone is welcome!

CHURCH
MEMBERSHIP
If you are interested in becoming a church member, finding out more
about membership or transferring your membership from your previous
church, then could you please ring me or leave a message for me in the
vestry. Tel: 01372 743182
Prospective members who haven't previously either been confirmed or
been members of other Christian churches will be asked to come along to
an Alpha Course. They will also be asked to meet as a group with me for
a couple of sessions to look at some areas not covered by the Alpha
Course. Those who have already attended an Alpha Course will be asked
to attend just the last couple of sessions with me. Please think and
pray whether this step would be right for you.
Thank you, Nigel Wright
