St Helen’s Church Hall   –   From 3rd November 2016 to Pentecost 2017 (see events for dates)

The Wild Goose series will help you experience a deeper relationship with the Person of the Holy Spirit, and as you come to experience God’s presence and power this very same Spirit will transform you and bring you freedom.

The Wild Goose Series is fourteen independent films dealing with different experiences of the Holy Spirit. Each film has a study guide that provides a very brief synopsis, key texts, discussion questions, and perhaps most importantly prayer and reflection.

Please come along for a spirit filled evening.
