You are invited to get together with others to read and discuss "2 Corinthians - the Gospel in All of Life." This letter, written by the apostle Paul, unpacks what the Gospel, or the Good News, is: walking with, speaking for, and serving Jesus in all of life. 2 Corinthians takes us through how to live by faith in our broken world. It’s the key to embracing our weakness and living in the strength which God supplies. Please email Katrina at [email protected] if you are planning to join us so we order enough books. To get the most out of the course it's best to come to all sessions. However, if you are not able to attend all of the sessions, don't worry as the course book will help you know what has been covered.

The course will be held at Christ Church Coxley, and will take place on Tuesday afternoons over seven weeks, starting on Tuesday 4th June.
