You
may also find it thought provoking and refreshing to read their 'Word

www.lookingforGod.

HOME
GROUPS
There are a wide variety of Home Groups catering for all ages. These provide
friendship, Christian fellowship and varying depths of bible study, teaching
and prayer. Home Groups usually meet once a week in someone's house. From
time to time groups also organise social events for group members and
families and friends. E.g. Theatre visits, trips out, picnics, celebration
meals, etc.
Some Home Groups meet on Tuesday or Wednesday evenings at 7.30 pm or 8 pm and some meet on Thursday mornings.
Everyone is encouraged and invited to join a Home Group. If you require further information, or would like to know of a suitable venue you might join, please have a word with the churchwardens in church.
