Unanswered Prayer - the prayer course II on Sunday mornings at 11.00 am from Sun 28th Feb
A 5 week Lent course designed to provoke honest thinking about the hardest questions we ask about prayer. Each session of the course will consist of a video, hosted by Pete Greig and BAFTA award-winning TV presenter Gemma Hunt, exploring Jesus’ journey to the cross and drawing on themes and stories from Pete’s book, God on Mute. Each video will also feature an interview with a special guest sharing their experience of God at work in the midst of extreme challenges to their faith.
Please email The Revd Dr Mary Barr vicarmary@meltonparish.org.uk if you would like to join this course.
