A Passion for Life – “Do you ever feel like something is missing?”
A Passion for Life is a series of events we are running from Wednesday 11th to Sunday 15th March at Christ Church Dunstable, exploring life’s big questions in a relaxed and friendly setting. Each event looks at a different area where many of us feel something may be missing — peace, joy, answers, purpose and hope.
We’d love you to join us. Bring a friend.
