Public Meetings
Come and join us!
Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
EU Public Meetings are weekly gatherings where all are welcome to hear the Bible taught by members of the EU senior staff team. These Bible talks are designed to stretch our thinking, challenge our lives, and to show us how the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus is good news for us.
