CROSS-LINKS DOVER

We Support Fairtrade

We are a fresh expression of church sponsored by:

 Alpha EXPRESS

This is an opportunity to explore the meaning of life from a Christian perspective over 11 weekly sessions.

Sessions normally take place on Mondays from 12.30 - 2 pm in the Cross-Links Centre. A light lunch is provided, small children welcome as there will be a soft play area.

We have not yet finalised the dates for the next course.

If you’d like to register an interest in the next course or find out more – please ring Nigel on 01304 827859.

Cafe Church

Coffee - Cake - Questions - Worship

Takes place on the FIRST SUNDAY of most months - it is not at all like a ‘usual’ church service - we hope you will enjoy the cafe setting and like the experience of ‘church’ in a different way.

We begin with coffee & chat soaking up the cafe atmosphere (we serve drinks, biscuits and nibbles). During this time we usually project some songs onto the screen and there will be a brief welcome & introduction. We then have a discussion based on the theme.

Each month there will usually be a theme related to what it means to Follow Jesus in everyday life. We encourage people to ask questions as we recognise that following Jesus isn’t easy.

We close with more coffee & chat and some cake!

There is no collection, but we do have a plate for any donation towards the Christian Mission of Cross-Links.

We usually gather at The Cross-Links Centre (9 Sheridan Road) on the FIRST SUNDAY of every month starting at 3pm - you would be most welcome to join us.

The dates and themes over the next few months will be:

5th April: “Easter”

3rd May: to be confirmed

7th June: to be confirmed

 

Monday Chat

A weekday discussion group relating everyday life to being a follower of Jesus.

Meets on most Mondays from 1-2pm with a simple lunch (from 12.30pm).

Forthcoming dates over the next few months will be:

April: 27th

May: 11th & 18th

June: 8th, 15th, 22nd & 29th
