Cross-Links, Dover is 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 last 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.

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

The themes over the next few months will be:

25th May: “Store” - getting angry

29th June: “Today” - looking at the past?

27th July: “Name” - knowing who you are

 

Messy Church

Have Fun - Make & Do - Worship - Share a Meal

”Jesus and Me”

• Just who is this Jesus bloke?

• Jesus Christ - real person or legend?

• What does it mean to ‘follow’ Jesus?

Four sessions exploring these and other questions:

Monday 21st & 28th April and 12th & 19th May from 1-2pm

For more details, please contact Nigel or Nikki on (01304) 827859.

”The Bible and Me”

 

• A Manual for Life?
• Just a good read and nothing more!
• A Christian text book with little relevance for us today!

Whatever YOU think - this is an opportunity to take a fresh look at what the Bible has to offer us today.

Community Quiz Nights

Summer Camp

Each year we attend the Junior Church Camp at Kearsney campsite with around 200 children from East Kent and the surrounding area. This year the theme will be “Knights of Olde”. Children must be aged over 8 years.

The camp is from Saturday 26th July to Saturday 2nd August.

The cost is £70 per child (£30 no returnable deposit to be paid by 31st March and remaining £40 by the end of May) - we hope to reduce this to £50 per person after a fundraising effort prior to camp.
