Events & Diary Events

This day will be an opportunity to ask the Lord to restore our hope and renew our identity in Christ. Through teaching, testimony, prayer and time together, we will explore what it means to live as men and women who truly believe that God is still at work and that He desires to use ordinary disciples to do extraordinary things for His kingdom.
