Courses
Edgbaston Old Church runs various courses throughout the year for those interested in deepening their Christian faith and commitment, or exploring the Christian faith for the first time. These include Alpha Courses, an annual Lent Course, Marriage Preparation, and Confirmation Classes, as well as occasional short courses on particular themes. Some of these are run jointly with our three ‘partner’ churches in the area (St George’s, Edgbaston; St Faith and St Laurence, Harborne, and St Peter’s, Harborne); others are specific to our own parish and congregation.
Confirmation Preparation 2009
We are delighted that seven members of our congregation, both adults and children, were confirmed at our Deanery Confirmation Service on 15th June, and we have already received enquiries about Confirmation Preparation in 2009. Dates have yet to be fixed for the course, but if you are interested or would like to know more, please contact the Priest-in-Charge.
Marriage Preparation
In January and February 2008 we ran a highly successful Marriage Preparation Course with our partner churches. As it was over-subscribed, we shall be offering the same course on Tuesday evenings this Autumn, beginning on 7th October 2008. The course is open to any couples in the area who are contemplating marriage, preparing for marriage, or who have been married recently. Places are limited, so please contact us as soon as possible if you would like more details.
Bible Reading Fellowship Group
This is a group of congregation members who meet regularly throughout the year to share their reflections on the course of daily Bible readings they follow, using the ‘New Daylight’ Bible reading notes for guidance. New members are always welcome.
For further information about any current or forthcoming courses please contact the Priest-in-Charge.
