Parentalk
|
|
Parentalk is time out for parents with children of any age to:
· encourage and support one another through sharing the highs and lows of Parenting experiences, whilst children are looked after · relax and enjoy refreshments We meet the first Thursday of every month, starting on the 5th October, from 10:00 to 11:30 at St James. Parents and children are together for the first half hour whilst refreshments are served and children settle to the toys. Parents then retire upstairs to continue sharing parenting experiences together in a relaxed environment. Our only rule is that what is shared together remains within the group. Feedback from parents indicates they really appreciate this opportunity to draw encouragement from one another in a relaxed and friendly environment. |

The Christian faith is all about relationship; it's more about relationship than it is about religion. For God relationship with us is the most important thing; and he wants us to have good relationships, with Him, with our family, our friends, our neighbour and with ourselves.
The Marriage Preparation Course
|
|
The Marriage Preparation Course is designed for couples considering marriage and wishing to build a strong and lasting relationship. While based on Christian principles, it is relevant and helpful for any couple with or without a Christian faith or church background. The course begins with supper, followed by a talk and an opportunity for discussion. Privacy is respected, there is no group discussion or group work, and no requirement to disclose anything about your relationship, but couples can discuss issues with a married 'support couple' if they wish.

The Tastelife (Eating Disorders) Course
|
The aim of the Tastelife course is to give you a toolkit of resources that you can use to start walking out of eating issues and back into enjoying life again, baby step by baby step. The tastelife course is not a cure or therapy, but it is a safe place where we can learn and grow together. Full recovery from eating disorders is possible! We have seen it and work with people who are either fully recovered or well on their way.
We believe in new beginnings and starting where you are. We know it isn’t all about food. There is a way out, and the tastelife course helps you to look forward to a time when eating, or not eating, is no longer holding you in its grip. The intention is that you can take hold of life in all its fulness, tasting food and enjoying it without fear, wherever you are and whoever you are with. |
