A friendly informal group in which to explore, share and deepen faith.  Bible study is at the core of the group, using a variety of resources including study guides and videos. The group also enjoys social occasions together. You are welcome to join for one session or on a regular basis.   

​

Meditation Group

Fridays at 10.30 am (not first Fridays of the month)

 

Leader: Julie Hibbert

Location: In the Chapel

​

Each meditation and begins by invoking the Trinity, then reading a short extract from the Bible to help give a focus. Following that comes 20 minutes of silence. At the end of the period of silence there is a prayer of thanksgiving followed by everyone joining together in the words of The Grace. The session is followed by refreshments in the Quiet Room. The morning offers a spiritual and peaceful experience.

Pilgrim: Bible Basics

Weekly on Wednesdays at 7.45pm

starting on 21st January, for four sessions 

 

Leaders: Lucy Davis and others

Location: The Quiet Room, Church Centre

​

An opportunity to understand more about how the Bible ‘works;’ how it was written and compiled, how we might approach its authority, and how we might read it for ourselves. If you’ve ever wanted to build your confidence with the Bible, and go deeper than the Sunday readings, this is the group for you!

​

Lent Course:
‘Lord, teach us how to pray’

Weekly on Wednesdays at 7.45pm

starting on 25th February, for 5 sessions

 

Leader: Lucy Davis and others

Location: The Holt Room

 

Lots of Christians struggle with prayer; we may feel that we don’t pray ‘properly,’ or maybe don’t know where to start. In these sessions we will explore the nature of prayer, and try out some prayer practices, some of which may be familiar, and some which may be new to us. There will not a be a Zoom option for the group this time.
