A love stronger than life itself
113 days ago, Ros Henwood
“No-one has greater love than this.. to lay down his life for his friends” said Jesus, just before he died on a cross. But that was not the end of the story…

Parenting Course
136 days ago, Ros Henwood
This is a practical course which is DVD based with informal discussion afterwards. Together we will focus on how we can improve family relationships and bring our children up to be the best that they can be.
If you are a couple, it would be good if you could both come so that you can learn together.
The course is aimed at parents of under 12s and you will be provided with both a book and course workbook. The course cost is £10 per household (£5 for single parents).
For more information or to book a place on the next course please contact Ros Henwood 0116 2464657 or admin.hope@gmail.com

Journeys - what's the course about?
136 days ago, Ros Henwood
Journeys is a 5-week course looking at questions such as , “Is there a spiritual side to me?” ” If God and heaven exist what are they like? ” Does this faith thing work in real life?”
Each week we will watch a short provocotive DVD and then you can have your say as we discuss together.
The people whose stories we’ll hear about are down to earth and realistic about life. They don’t paint a sugar-coated picture of life as followers of Jesus, but they do explain the wide-ranging benefits of embracing a relationship with God.
Join us on this journey.
For more information, or to book a place on the next course contact Ros Henwood, admin.hope@gmail.com, 0116 2464657
