Housegroups

Are you still thinking about joining a House Group?
You can join at any time in the year - although best to get in from the beginning in September if possible!

Most groups are continuing to meet through to July, either 'catching up' with the pre-Easter series on the Environment, or following the book 'Tomorrow's Christian' by Adrian Smith.

Housegroups meet fortnightly, avoiding school holidays. The full pattern of weeks can been seen on the Housegroup Weeks page, which include local school holiday dates as well.

Please contact Juliet Amos via the Church Office for information.

Housegroups 2009-2010
There are several strands in our Housegroup Programme, catering for all elements of our church family.

Enquirers
Using Emmaus material, for those keen to find out about the basics of Christianity.

Christianity Explored
A course for new Christians based on Mark’s Gospel; to introduce Jesus - who he is, why he came and what it means to follow him.

Youth HouseGroup
SCOPE Youth Housegroup takes place weekly for young people of secondary school age. Details available from Jonathan Logan. You can contact him at: jonathan@christchurchilkley.org.uk

Christian Discipleship (10 Groups)
Throughout this last season, the book of Daniel using a commentary by Bob Fyall, Christian Responsibility for the Environment based on a report to the Methodist Conference and @Tomorrow’s Christians@ by Adrian Smith, have provided varied foci for study.

Housegroups 2010-2011
From September 2010, Discipleship groups will be exploring the gospel of Mark – 'Life as it is meant to be lived’ based on a series of study sessions by Christine Platt. In her introduction she writes:
‘Jesus kept in close contact with God. However busy he was, he knew he needed time out to refocus and recharge his spiritual batteries.’
Perhaps this can be a challenge for us to join a Housegroup and experience ways in which we can encourage each other, letting what we learn impact on our day-to-day lives.
