Invited to the Party – Nicola’s Living Hope Story

“I feel like I’m at the top of the iceberg – there’s so much more to discover.”

Chatting to Nicola was such a joy, as she described her journey of faith. Nicola went to the toddler group at her local church and found it so warm and welcoming. Over time she became friends with one of the leaders, who then invited her to come along to a Sunday service. During the service, describing faith, the vicar spoke about a party where everyone is invited – a glimpse of the party in heaven. She found herself in tears as someone gave her an invitation and invited her into the family of faith.

Nicola is part of St John’s with St Mary’s Mansfield.
