Lent course 2024: The Difference Course

for 28 days, 1 hour, 30 mins
The Vicarage
The Vicarage, Please contact [email protected] for details.
We will be running the Difference Course throughout the weeks of Lent.

Archbishop Justin Welby has a vision for the church to be a reconciling presence in the midst of conflict.
Navigating a divided and complex world can be hard. We encounter this our relationships, in our communities
and in our wider systems and structures. Many of us long to make a difference, but often we don’t know how
to respond or where to start. This is why Archbishop Justin Welby has brought together leading practitioners
and thinkers to create Difference, equipping you to cross divides, navigate disagreement and pursue a just
and flourishing world.

Meeting on: Monday 19th February, Monday 26th February, Thursday 7th March, Monday 11th March, Monday 18th March, 7-8.30pm, at the Vicarage. Please sign up in church or email [email protected] so there are enough chairs available. If you can't make all the sessions, please feel free to come to those you can.

Smethwick Old Church

Smethwick Old Church is both an historic building and a family of Christians. Built in 1732 using money left by Dorothy Parkes, our grade-two listed parish church is the oldest building in Smethwick - closely followed by The Old Chapel pub next door! We welcome people of all ages and backgrounds to share in worship, growing faith and work with our local community.
