Hope Explored

There are few emotions more powerful than hope. But these days, hope often feels hard to come by. Where can we find a hope that won’t disappoint us?

Hope Explored shows that Christianity is about real hope: a joyful expectation for the future, based on true events in the past, which changes everything about my present. Over three sessions this series explores the themes of hope, peace and purpose in the account of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus in Luke’s Gospel.

We will be hosting this excellent three-week course starting 8pm on 10th January 2023 at the Vicarage, Old Chirk Road, Gobowen. You would be very welcome to join us.
