The next one is on Wednesday, March 13 with Rev Alastair Ferneley - ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’ Mark 15:34. Christianity has a bias to the disadvantaged. Suffering: Where is God in this messy world? Each event starts at 6.30pm with a bring and share meal also known as a ‘Faith Supper’ - well it is called a question of faith after all (we recommend finger food). At around 7pm the series of faith talks begins. The evening should conclude after prayers, hopefully no later than 8.30pm. You can join us for the Faith Supper at 6.30pm, or arrive for the talks 7pm prompt. You can then choose to leave after the talk or stay for the closing worship.
