Autumn Courses

This Autumn, we are running two courses at Springfield:

The Marriage Course is for couples who want to take a positive step in their relationship. Its a chance to relax together over a meal, to listen to a talk and then to discuss the subject raised with each other. Its a personal, private and valuable time together.

The Autumn at Springfield

As we begin to look forward to the Autumn season at Springfield do give some thought to coming to one of the courses that are starting later this month. Never been on an Alpha course? Its a great way to find out about the Christian faith, and to ask questions - whether you have been coming to church for years or have just started Need time and space together? The marriage course starts with a meal for two and is an engaging and relevant course for both Christian and non Christian couples alike.
