Roads of Hurt and Hope Lent Course

Every Monday at for 1 hour, 30 mins
The Hub
The Hub, Ground Floor, Houghton Library, 74 Newbottle Street, Houghton le Spring, DH4 4AF, United Kingdom

Structured around five biblical highways, our Lent course originated from the author’s ministry in Jerusalem and was written at the beginning of the current Gaza war. Each session describes a particular road from biblical times and in the modern day; reflects on associated scripture; adds interviews with “contemporary voices” along the way; and supplies questions for further thought, with imaginative prayer exercises.

St Michael & All Angels

This ancient parish church has been at the heart of our community for over a 1,000 years. It stands as a visible symbol of Christ's presence in Houghton Le Spring. It is however far more than a building, St Michael's is a group of prayerful, loving and faithful people.
