This will involve a light meal, followed by a talk and then opportunity for discussion, at the end. The meal will be at the church building on Filton Avenue, from 12.30pm. It will be finished by 3.00pm.

If you want to bring your children, then please let us know in advance and we can provide helpers to supervise the children, in the back hall, during the talk and discussion time.

If you intend to come to a session, then please contact the church office by email or telephone, by the Thursday before the session, so we know how many people to cater for.

Theology Discussion Forum
This online forum has been set up with the specific purpose of facilitating discussion among Ebe church members on a whole variety of Bible subjects.
Maybe you have some questions about the character of God, questions on suffering or discussions with work colleagues have thrown up some difficulties that you can't answer. This is not a place to find all the answers, but a forum that fellow thinking believers can use to post thoughts, answers, ideas and helpful scriptures.
The idea for the forum has grown from the desire to seek God and understand his word more deeply as a community, while acknowledging we are all very busy people who don't really have time to add another 'meeting' into our schedule.
If you would like post or view the forum, then please and we will email you with username, password and link to the forum.
