Total Surrender! New Year Celebration

29 Dec 2025–2 Jan 2026 (Mon–Fri)

Jesus invites each one of us to follow him – on his terms, not ours. Will we trust him to set the parameters of the relationship, or will we try to insist on our right to do so? The promise of life to the full, or life in abundance, is one we can depend on – but only if we embrace a life of total surrender. Come and explore this costly invitation together, so that we choose and live well into 2026!

Who's speaking?
