St John's Learning Streams

These are open to everyone and will run at the Low Port Centre.

The two courses running are:

The Ultimate Challenge: starts Monday 12 May at 7pm with Gavin Cargill and Ally Campbell. This is a course inspired by Jesus' promise of abundant life in John 10:10—life marked by joy, purpose, and connection. It invites participants to explore what it means to live fully by embracing personal growth, deeper community, and spiritual transformation.
The Prayer Course: starts Wednesday 14 May at 7pm (tbc). The Prayer Course, developed by Pete Greig and the 24/7 prayer team, is a journey through the Lord's Prayer with a mixture of video content, discussion questions and practical prayer activities. The course is designed to equip and inspire you to go deeper in prayer, as individuals and as a community.
