Pathfinders is the perfect way to use your Sunday morning! Every week is a chance to catch up with mates as we gather round the Bible, chat it through in small groups and see what God is saying about our lives today.
Here's how it works:
- Come to the 10.30am service at church. The place to sit is the balcony above the main door - you'll see the rest of us up there.
- After 15mins or so we'll head across to 3 Osborne Road for Pathfinders, which will kick off at about 10.45am.
- We'll then wrap up in time for the end of the service and will bring you back across to find your parents.

This is a course that Holy Trinity Brompton has been running for many years. JPC has run these in the past and many people say the biggest benefit is set aside time to talk and focus on your marriage! Zoom means many with children will be able to make it, but please prioritise the seven weeks – with a break for half term. See https://www.themarriagecourse.org/ These are the topics cover each week:
• Building Strong Foundations
• The Art of Communication
• Resolving Conflict
• The Power of Forgiveness
• The Impact of Family – Past and Present
• Good Sex
• Love in Action
The cost will be £5 per couple, which covers the cost of the journals. Contact Liz Jackson for any more details or questions, especially if cost is an issue - do say!
