How HOPE is understood in different faith traditions
As we approach the season of advent, what can churches and other faith groups offer in the public sphere? Surely the concept of 'Hope' is one that many, many people are in desperate need of.
The Lancashire Forum of Faiths with Churches Together in Lancashire will be organising an on-line seminar exploring how HOPE is understood in different faith traditions, and how we can adopt a hopeful rather than a hopeless view of the future.
Open to all, via Zoom, Tues 1st December; 10.30 - 12.30
If interested please contact Peter Lumsden (pjlumsden58@gmail.com); Zoom log-in details and programme to follow nearer the date.

Lancashire Sings Christmas

An Introduction to Apologetics
"Faith strengthening and faith sharing“
“Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.” - 1 Peter 3:15
Is it only unbelievers that need reasons for the hope that we have ? No!
This introduction to apologetics will strengthen faith and equip to share it with others - and it will be enjoyable too!

More than a Coffee Morning
There is an online coffee morning every Tuesday, 11.00 am for 45 minutes - could this be for you or someone in your church?
