Open Table @ The Key
Recent research tells us that 35% of 18-24 year olds say there is ‘definitely a God/gods or a higher power’.
Where do we come from? What was I made for? Why does the world feel so broken?
Confused? Bothered? Interested to find out more?
This 7-week season dives into the early chapters of Genesis —the Bible’s foundational story of humanity’s origins, purpose, and hope. Each week, we’ll explore big questions and share insights into how this ancient story speaks relevantly into our lives and foreshadows Jesus.
This is a chance for people to take a breather, dare to ask, connect with others, open up the Bible and discover what you really think and feel about a key part of who you are. No prior Bible knowledge needed. Just bring your curiosity (and a friend)! Please do forward to anyone you think might be interested.
Wednesdays, 7.45-9.15 at The Key, St Margaret’s Plain on 7th May, 14th May, 21st May, 4th June, 11th June, 18th June & 25th June.
