Small groups

"You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you but have taught you publicly and from house to house."
Acts 20:20

Being part of a small groups is a good way to grow in life, faith, and friendship. Instead of running a continuous weekly group, we hold short courses, which aim to support us in our faith. We know that some people prefer studying a part of the Bible, while other prefer to explore their faith with the help of paintings, books or films. We try to offer a range of short courses to suit everyone. The short courses are either held in somebody's home or at one of the churches. If you would like to chat about short courses please contact Revd Jan.

PREVIOUS SHORT COURSES

Living in Love and Faith

This was a Church of England mini course with videos and comments from a diverse range of people. The small groups created a 'safe' space where everyone could confidentially discuss the videos and comments, and share their personal experience and the experiences of family and friends. The course was deigned to look at some big issues, these included:

  • How do questions about identity, sexuality, relationships and marriage fit within the bigger picture of the good news of Jesus Christ?

  • What does it mean to live in love and faith together as a Church?

​As a result of this course, the churches decided to offer prayers of love and faith to all.​

​

Inspired to Follow: The Old Testament & The Early Church​

​This was actually two seperate courses, where we looked at paintings from the National Gallery, to explore events from the Old Testament, and then to explore events from the New Testament focusing on the Early Church. Each session focused on one painting, and included commentary written by an art historian or a theologian. These were much enjoyed courses!

 

Resolve

​This is a 4 week course exploring what it means to enact positive change in your life. Over 4 weeks we explored the topics of looking after your body, strengthening your mind, inspiring your soul and deepening your relationships. Using a book that atendees kept, each session featured tips by various experts about making positive change. There was also a good amount of discussion around the topics.
