Small Groups

Members of our congregation are encouraged to join a small group. These play an important part in building our sense of community. At present there are five small groups, three meet during the evening and two meet during the day, most meeting fortnightly. The purpose of the groups is to encourage people in Christian discipleship by praying together and reading scripture, but also to keep in touch with the wider world and church.
There are no official leaders of the groups, but group members each take a role or responsibility, for example, hospitality, keeping in touch with the wider church, guiding the group in prayer and worship, giving the group a sense of fun and enjoyment etc. These tasks are changed amongst members of the group by mutual arrangement about three times a year. This gives the group a real sense of community and mutual responsibility. The clergy offer help to the groups visiting occasionally and supply resources for study and prayer if required.
Anyone interested in joining a small group should approach one of the clergy in the first instance via the Parish Office
