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!

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 2011-2012
How Do We Read The Bible? How Do We Use The Bible?

These are the questions we shall be exploring in our Housegroups from
September through to Christmas based on a series of teaching sessions which Rob Hilton gave during some evening services last Autumn. There will be more material on offer at Housegroups than was contained in the four sessions Rob led, but in a nutshell, we shall be looking at
  + The Bible as Revelation
  + The Bible as Story
  + The Bible as Inspiration
  + How to Question the Bible.

If you attended those teaching evenings, as I did, I’m sure you would agree there is much to be talked about and still much to be learned. If you missed them, then here is your chance to be inspired by the breadth and depth of this subject.

As anyone who goes to a Housegroup will tell you, they are a great way to build friendships, share thoughts and grow in Christian knowledge and faith. Do please encourage each other to make the coming session even better and more successful than before.

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.’

Other material will be tyaken from Adrian Smith's challenging book 'Tomorrow's Christian - a new framework for Christian living'.
