Exploration Hour

Every monday evening a small group comes together in Bastille building, room 319A for Exploration Hour. After a nice hot meal, they explore one of the biographies of Jesus together. They follow the accounts written by Mark, one of the apprentices of Jesus in that time. The ‘Uncover’ concept helps to talk with each other about the deep questions of Life and what Jesus had to say about them. Starting time is 18.00h. Just walk in with your friend(s), or contact IFES staffworker Jan-Jaap Bats before: [email protected] or app: 06-22505831
