Homegroups

13 homegroups meet in different locations around the town every other week (alternating with the Central Bible Study and Prayer Meeting) for prayer, Bible study and fellowship. Homegroups are a great way to get to know a few people better and grow together in Christ. Meetings are on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons and evenings. 

The curate provides homegroup leaders’ notes for the Bible passages being studied.

If you are interested in joining a homegroup, please contact the pastoral worker, Liz Harman. 

Central Bible Study and Prayer Meeting

The Central Bible Study and Prayer Meeting takes place in the Church Hall at 7.30 pm every other Wednesday (in the week when there aren’t homegroups). The study is usually led by the vicar with lots of opportunities for interaction. There is a time of prayer from 8:30-9pm.

Prayer Meetings

There are short times of prayer to which all are welcome in the vestry before both the main Sunday services at 10am and 6:10pm.

Morning prayers are held in the side chapel daily, Monday to Friday, 9:15-9:30am.

The Church Family Prayer Meeting is held fortnightly on Wednesdays from 8.30-9pm, following the Central Bible Study.

A Prayer Breakfast is held on one Saturday of each month in the Church Hall, with prayer from 8-9am followed by a breakfast of tea or coffee and bread rolls. Three times a year there is a full cooked breakfast. Donations are made to cover the cost of breakfast.

An evening prayer meeting is held on one Friday of each month in the Church Hall at 7:30pm.

A daily prayer diary is issued once a month to encourage private prayer for those on the electoral roll and for other needs in the life of the church.

Some of the mission agencies with whom we have close links have their own prayer groups which meet each month on our premises.

Mothers & Others Bible Study

Mothers & Others is an opportunity for those caring for pre-school children to take a relaxed look at the Bible, with questions and discussion. There is a fully staffed crèche with great toys. We meet on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of the month, 10-11am, initially in the Church Hall then upstairs for coffee and study.

The Mission Support Group

The Mission Support Group meets on the third Monday of each month at 2.30pm in the Church Hall to pray for and write to our Mission Partners. They also make blankets and clothing which are sent to Eastern Europe.

Sing Together

Sing Together takes place each Sunday evening from late June to early September and is aimed primarily at holiday makers who may not be able to attend the 6:30pm service because of the time of their evening meal. Sing Together begins at 8.15pm, lasts about 30 minutes and includes some favourite hymns and songs, a Bible reading or two and a short ‘Pause for Thought’ to bring the day to a close.
