Mondays 7.00pm to 9pm

Volunteer commitment: every Monday for 13 weeks

Project leader: Wendy

St Matthews church will RUN with Divorce care from 3^rd May at their campus. The idea is that View runs it for 13 weeks and then instead of us not offering Divorce care again for some time to give all involved a break, St Matthews will run for 13 weeks. The plan is to eventually be running both at the same time to allow for more people to join or run as we doing now.

We see this as a great way to grow church as many of the people who attend Divorce care are not from our church and many find out via friends etc about the course.

Email CARE for more infromation, or to sign up!
