Housegroups

 

In addition to our Sunday services we meet informally in smaller groups during the week. We have three groups – two that meet on Tuesday evening and one on Thursday evening, all from 7:45pm to 9:00pm with tea/coffee time afterwards.

Usually we follow up the teaching given on the previous Sunday – clarifying understanding and making sure that the word is well applied to our lives. We usually find that there is plenty to discuss – especially as we try to work out the practical implications of God’s word for daily living.

In October and November we are doing something a bit different by following a course to help us get familiar with and more eager to read God's Word, the Bible. This is what it says about itself:

'How sweet are your words to my taste,' says the psalmist about the law of God, 'sweeter than honey to my mouth.' Most Christians would like to say Amen, but somehow it doesn't always feel this way.

Reading the Bible often feels like our attempts to have regular exercise - a healthy chore we know we should fit in, but which is hard to manage among everything else, and ends up slipping off the agenda.

Whatever your current Bible reading habits (or lack of them), and whatever your level of knowledge and confidence, Six Steps To Reading Your Bible will help you make progress in getting into your Bible.

The course will help us:

- Become familiar with the basic shape and nature of the Bible
- Be motivated to read the Bible for ourselves
- Learn how to apply basic reading skills to the Bible
- Learn how to apply a Bible passage to your life
- Understand how the whole message of the Bible hangs together and centers on Jesus
- Benefit from the encouragement and experience of others, as we work together in learning to read the Bible

Let's be praying it does all that!

Housegroups conclude with a prayer time. As well as encouraging and supporting one another through our prayers we seek God’s guidance in every aspect of church life. In this way we are able to bring many individual needs before the Lord who promises to hear the prayers of his people. Once each month the groups combine, so that the whole church can gather for thanksgiving and intercession.
