Prestwick South continues its series of discussions entitled Christianity Explored this weekend.

Rev Kenneth Elliott said: “The sessions are informal conversations to allow everyone to contribute as much as they want or you can simply listen and reflect on what is being shared.”

The sessions will be held on Sundays until November 27 in the church hall from 5pm until 6.30pm.
