Everyone is very welcome to join us for tea and cake and the church service, which runs every Sunday. Hope you can join us! *PLEASE NOTE that this is NOT the English class.* The English class runs during the term: and classes are posted as separate Meetup events. Please sign up for the classes on the relevant Meetup. The classes run from 2:30 pm - 3:45pm. --- What happens in this event? Come and experience a Traditional English Church Service with Live Music and Singing. Enjoy Tea and coffee after the Church service. You will meet a friendly local community. Make friends from all over the world, people from diverse backgrounds and stages of life. What happens during the church service? You do not need to do anything, apart from sit, listen and observe. It is a great way to improve your listening skills and also to learn about what Christianity says about life and why we think it might be relevant. You will listen to live singing, prayer, a Bible reading, and hear a talk from someone explaining it. You are welcome to join at any time and leave before the service finishes if you do not feel you can stay. You will have time after the service to talk to us either about what you have heard or just anything you'd like to talk about, over a cup of tea or coffee and there is usually also a lot of cakes or snacks!

London Society FREE TALK - Deep Conversations

London Society FREE TALK - Deep Conversations

Sun, Nov 8, 5:00 PM
From London Society of Explorers
4.8

Have you ever wanted to gather together and talk about insightful topics which broadens your thinking and knowledge? If so, this may be the right event for you. Welcome to the ‘Deep conversations’ event where you get the opportunity to share your views based on the topics that we may cover. The last time this was executed, it not only went well but we managed to learn from one another which broadened our thinking. With this particular event, the topics we’ll discuss are: * Have you played video games and if so, what’s your views on it? * Do you think video games can educate you better than school can? * Do you think video games teach you about the real world and what it really is? * Name me one of your favourite video games you played and why it was phenomenal? We get so preoccupied with daily life that we hardly have a chance to sit back and think as well as discuss many topics in such depth. When was the last time you sat back and thought about anything in depth which opened your eyes to so many possibilities and broadened your thinking? Now is your chance to share your views and learn from one another. By participating in this, you could broaden your ways of thinking, learn new lessons or even heal if you have your hidden struggles. My fellow explorers, if you enjoyed the event, I’m more than happy to accept any donations which of course are optional but will go a long way to help me unlock and deliver even more exciting and engaging events and resources: https://www.paypal.me/calvinjoy WHAT - Deep conversations
