PRAYER AND WORSHIP

6 January 2026, 7.30 pm. At this monthly gathering we come to pray together. In particular we will be praying for the up coming Hope Explored. Under the leadership of Matt, there will be sung worship, a period of devotional time, prayer stations and an opportunity to be encouraged and prayed for.
There will be no pressure to pray out loud if you do not wish to, so just come and be together as we seek God’s presence and guidance.

INFORMAL MEN’S BREAKFAST

10 January 2026, 9.00 am. The informal men’s breakfast has been set up to cater for those who can’t wait to eat in between the Men’s Breakfast meetings we have every other month. There is no speaker at this event but is an opportunity for people to invite their friends and neighbours for breakfast and get to know some Christian men.

This is a regular event, we meet every second Saturday of the month.

We are currently meeting at the Cafe in Ripon Spa Gardens.

HOPE EXPLORED

Hope Explored looks at the life, death and resurrection of Jesus in Luke’s Gospel, this three-session series shows that Christianity is about real hope: a joyful expectation for the future, based on true events in the past, which changes everything about your present.

Take a journey to Vienna with a programme showcasing two of the greatest composers ever to live and work in the city: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Richard Strauss. Mozart’s overture to The Marriage of Figaro, one of his most enduringly popular operas, and his last symphony, the majestic Jupiter, widely regarded as one of the greatest symphonies in classical music, are beautifully complemented by Richard Strauss’ much-loved second horn concerto, performed by Phil Taylor, and the lyrical Overture and Dance Scene from Ariadne auf Naxos.
