House Groups

Belonging to a group in Church can be a very enriching experience, meeting for prayer Bible study and mutual support and friendship. We already have several groups running in various peoples homes (see below), but if you are new to the Church or have never been part of a group and would like to “give it a go”, please put your name on the list in the Narthex of the Church, stating where you live and whether you would prefer day time or an evening group. We will then have a get together to arrange suitable venues etc.
