Lent Course 2025

Every Thursday at for 1 hour, 30 mins
The Pilgrim Centre
The Pilgrim Centre, Dale Street, Craven Arms, SY7 9PB

Lent Course: “This year sees the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, which formulated the first version of the Nicene Creed, indicating the importance of knowing what it is that we believe. We say a Creed at most services; why are we saying it? Do we ever think deeply about what it is we are say-ing? For this year’s Lent Course we are following ‘The Creed Explored’, a five week exploration of the Creed, following the text of the Apostle’s Creed but also looking at some of the more detailed statements in the Nicene and Athanasian Creeds. Would you like to explore what we believe in more depth? Each session consists of video talks and group Bible study and discussion. Come and join us in the Pilgrim Centre at 7.30 pm on the following dates (mostly Thursdays): 13th & 20th March, 25th March (Tuesday), 3rd & 10th April. We look forward to seeing you.” Clive

Please note that the meeting in w/c 24th March will be on TUESDAY, 25th and not on the Thurtsday.
