Question Time

Question Time The fourth or last Tuesday of the month, 6pm – 7.30pm in a local cafe -Ev, SE1 8DD. Question Time is a monthly meet up to talk about some of the big questions of life and faith. We’ll be exploring these questions from a Christian perspective using the Bible to navigate some of our thinking, but people of any faith and none are most welcome. We don’t assume to have the answer, but to give space for exploration and to learn and grow from one another. Question time is run by our 20s and 30s group, but open to all! We meet at Ev Cafe, SE1 8DD, 6pm – 7.30pm on the last Tuesday of the month. Contact Georgia for more information and to come along.
