and periods of stillness and silence. Followed by refreshments in the schoolrooms.

Starting on Mon Feb 10th and for the following 8 weeks , Dalby Church will be running a course based on John Mark Comer’s book. “Practicing the Way.” The course looks at how we can be apprentices of Jesus ,spending time with him, becoming like him and doing the things he did. Each week there is a video presentation and time to discuss and share thoughts together , as well as practices to work on individually throughout the week. . We hope you’ll be able to join us. 7.30-9.30 pm Monday evenings at Dalby.
Please contact Cheryl to book for this course. [email protected]
