Every week at Le Pas Opton you’ll find quality Bible teaching with popular speakers from Spring Harvest and other Christian organisations. Our optional morning Bible study gives you an opportunity to grab a coffee and croissant and enjoy the teaching on offer.
The topics are thought provoking and provide spiritual food for the day. From June to the end of August, with kids’ clubs running concurrently with the Bible studies, you can sit back and relax with the peace of mind that our team of children’s workers are looking after your little ones.
Then, later in the day, evening celebrations are a great place to join with family and new friends for a short time of worship, testimonies and short talks.
On Sunday morning the week culminates in a family celebration, with kids presenting a drama, song or testimony from their groups. The whole service is family-focused, with all-age worship, prayer and preaching.
