Discovering Christianity Course - starts 15 May 2011
Belhelvie Church is running a Discovering Christianity course which starts on Sunday, May 15th at 7pm and runs for 6 consecutive weeks, same day and time each week, in the Forsyth Hall. We'll eat together (take note, mums - tea made for you!), watch a bit of a DVD together and then have a chat about the issues the DVD raises for us. No question too daft, no knowledge assumed other than what you bring with you. Would be good to see you! If you plan to come can you please let me know so we can make arrangements for catering.
