Christ Church & St Paul's, Paignton

Autumn Term

This autumn we will be returning for a time to the set readings that many churches follow over the year, using the letters (written mainly by St Paul) and the gospel of Matthew. It will be good to follow Jesus's teaching to his disciples and to explore some of the issues that faced the early church, all of which will have relevance to today.
