Fellowship Groups
(Bible studies)
Fellowship groups provide an opportunity to learn about God as we look at His word together and encourage one another. We are starting the New Year with a short series called ‘Beginnings’. This series looks at aspects and themes of the book of Genesis. Below are links to the different studies:
During Lent we are going to be looking at a number of the Apostle Paul’s prayers which we read in the Bible. There are five studies available. These studies can be done privately, but you can also join in a discussion group via Zoom on a Monday afternoon at 2pm.
If you would like any further information please do email.
Social Events:
On a Wednesday at 11 am we have online ‘Church chat’. Make a cuppa and have a natter. We also hope to organise other online events. For more information please email.

Christ Jesus our Lord.
