If you were to take a snapshot
of your relationship with Christ, where might you find yourself on your journey of faith?
Starting Out
You may be at the beginning of
your journey, and wanting to explore the claims of Christianity further. You may value an
opportunity to ask questions and to see what it means to set out on the journey. You may
be gaining a better understanding of Christ and the Christian gospel but haven't yet
entered into a personal relationship with Jesus. You may still be investigating
Christianity, and seeking the truth.
If this is you, then
you might prefer to join the Alpha course, further details of which can be found by

Somewhere Along the Road
However, you may have been on
the journey of faith for some time. You have a personal relationship with Jesus, and you
want to grow further in your understanding of the Christian faith and of what it means to
walk with God. You want to meet with others for worship, to look at God's word, and to
make friends with others on the same spiritual journey.
If this is you, then
joining a home group could be of benefit to you...

What
is a home group?
A
home group is, quite simply, a small group of people who want to find out more
about how God works in our lives today, meeting together in the relaxed
atmosphere of a home. They
last about two hours, including time for refreshments and a chat.
What
happens?
With
the help of a leader to guide the discussion, we look at a passage (or
passages) from the Bible and, talking, listening and learning together,
consider some questions which help us to relate the Bible to our everyday
lives.
We
pray about what we’ve learnt, we pray for each other, and we pray for the
world around us.
We
are free to contribute as much or as little as we want to contribute.
Home
groups are a great way to help us along in our church’s aim to love God, to
love one another, and to love our neighbours.
What
not give it a try?
You
would be welcomed into any of the home groups—why not give it a go?
When
and where?
We
generally meet on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings during school term times.
If you live in the area and
