Equip Update

Dear , None of us remain the same throughout our lives. Our bodies change, our brains change, our hormones change; our knowledge, understanding and priorities continually shift. Each of us embarks on 2024, a fresh version of ourselves. Development work on our 2025 model begins now. When we read the Bible, we tend to have a single mental image of the key characters. However, some of those stories span a lifetime. Paul, for example, steps into the New Testament as a hot-headed young man, probably in his early twenties. He leaves it four decades later, stained and scarred by a full and dramatic life. We look forward to sharing the Equip Hub programme with you during 2024, and hope there will be something that will inspire and inform you, and guide you towards being a more godly expression of your unique and wonderful self.
