Did it run smoothly or were there times of struggle? Was it a personal thing or something you shared with others? Did it fade over time or did it grow deeper and more substantial as the years rolled on?

For us, at Hartley Wintney Baptist Church, we believe the best love we’ve ever known is the love of God shown to us in Jesus Christ. It's what brings us joy, sets us in community and strengthens us in difficulty.

Join us to discover more about this love through Discipleship Explored, a study series in Philippians. As we read the Apostle Paul’s encouragement to the church in Philippi we can encourage each other with the joy we have in Christ and stand firm together in him.

Jesus calls us not only to believe in him but to trust him and to follow him. Discipleship is about putting our Christian faith into practice in our everyday lives.

Discipleship Explored is an 8 session series for anyone who wants to make the most of their Christian lives. It has been run at many churches throughout the country. We will be starting on Monday 9th January and fortnightly thereafter, starting at 2:00pm and finishing by 3:30pm. Each session will include a Bible reading from Paul’s letter to the Philippians, a video to watch, some open discussion and tea/coffee and cake.

The topics for the first four sessions are: • 9th January - Confident in Christ • 23rd January - Living in Christ • 6th February - Standing together in Christ • 20th February - Transformed by Christ

You would be welcome to come along, either for the whole series or just for a single session. Don’t worry whether you are a new believer, a life-long Christian or are not really sure what you believe – we can all learn together, whatever our starting point. You will find us in the Baptist Church at the golf course end of the High Street.
