Find Hope Again
Where do you find hope?
Remember the time when you had hope?
When you looked forward to things being better?
When hope gave you a feeling of excitement and anticipation?
Wondered where that feelings gone? Why?
As Christians we have a sure and certain hope - that a relationship with Jesus makes sense of life and gives us hope for the future, in all aspects of life.
During weeks 4 and 5 of second semester the EU would love to invite you to come and join us to consider where might we find hope again. You are warmly invited to any of the event listed below.
