Pray for Spain
Today we had our fellowship meal and this month our focus is on Spain. We learned some facts about Spain, practised our Spanish greetings and enjoyed Spanish food after the service, including Spanish omelette, paella, patatas bravas and lemon yogurt cake. We also had...
The Second Coming of Christ
Today we looked at our future and our hope as we discussed the second coming of Christ. The Bible study included looking at 2 Pet 3:1-10 and Mark 13:5-23, acknowledging that waiting for the return of Christ can seem a long wait! Throughout history, Christians have...
