Being a Christian

We would like to invite you to continue exploring your journey with Christ by attending our “Being a Christian?” course.  This new course, run by the Anglican, Methodist and United Reformed Churches of Epsom, will explore some practical aspects of living a Christian life.

The course is aimed at anyone who would like to take some time out each week to think about these and other things.  Those attending might include people exploring the possibility of adult Baptism, Confirmation (in the Anglican Church) or Full Membership (in the Methodist Church), or those, perhaps like yourself, just wanting to know more and reflect on the Christian life.  At the end of the course those who are not yet baptised or confirmed (including those who would like to renew their baptismal vows) will be asked if they would like to pursue that avenue, in which case they will be invited, closer to the Bishop’s visit in May, to attend further evenings that will deal specifically with those topics.

The course lasts 10 weeks, starting on 22 January 2009, and will be hosted at the Epsom Methodist Church from 7.45pm to 9.30pm each Thursday.  Each week a different topic will be addressed, and on the first evening you will be given a small book of daily readings that is intended to guide and help your reflections as you move through the course.  The Revds Gillaine Holland (St Martin’s Church), David Winwood (Epsom Methodist Church), Simon Leigh (Epsom Methodist Church) and Pat Dickin from Christ Church, will be present every evening of the course and will alternate weeks in which we provide leadership for the evening.  The course has no cost to yourself, although if you would like to make any contribution towards the cost of the materials please be encouraged to approach us.
