healed by the father’s love
'Healed by the Father's Love' is a great opportunity to invest time into discovering the 'Father Heart' of God and exploring how He sees us. This event can really help us grasp what it means to be a child of God. We may, or may not have grown up in a positive, loving and wholesome environment with good parental role models, but this seminar set can teach us new depths to God's love for us, whatever our background and understanding of parenthood.
The bible course
This is a great follow-up to the Alpha Course. It is a really informative and interesting course about the Bible; how it is laid out, what it can teach us and how we can use it as a living document today.
