Walking With God
Walking with God
A programme of Christian Education
September 2011 to Easter 2012
Growing in our faith, and in our relationship with God, is central to our life as a Christian community. No matter what age you are, or how long you have been a Christian, there is always more to learn and to explore.
Here is a programme of groups and events which will be happening in TAM over the next six months. We hope there is something here for everyone.
Sunday worship is central to our walk with God, but being part of a small group is an opportunity to explore faith in a deeper way, and share with others.
Do look through what’s on offer and choose something which will work for you.
Cake and Christianity
A short introduction to faith issues and anything else we think of; for beginners, returners, and those needing a top up. The evening will be in two halves: a talk on the subject , followed by conversation and questions.
The sessions will start with tea and cake.

Faithful Families Evening
Saturday 10th September, 5pm. Venue: The Narthex Contact: Ian D
The teen years mark a key transitional stage in life. Moving from childhood to adulthood can be an upheaval for the whole family. However if a great community of peers and mentors have the chance to do it together, it can also be a time of great spiritual and personal growth.
That’s where the faithful families come in. Supportive members of our community of all ages come together to share a meal, study Scripture and enjoy good company.
We hope to deepen our relationship with each other and with God by meeting together, and hope that you will join with us.
