Midweek Small Groups
It’s the best way to get to know people and grow.
In our Farnham site we are trying a new approach to small groups.
Our Growth Groups meet at different times and places. Some meet for 10 to 12 weeks each term, other groups are more permanent. At the beginning of each term we have a ‘Sign-up Sunday’ where everyone is encouraged to sign-up to the group that most interests them – some people will just sign up for the same group, but for other people it’s a chance to move to a new group. Some groups focus on bible study and prayer, others on outreach, or social action, or a particular area of ministry or a stage of life.
For all groups the focus is being a fun, vibrant, authentic community where we can find and follow Jesus. They are where, as it says in the Bible, we can “consider how to spur one another on to love and good deed.”
Which group is for YOU?
Proposed ideas already suggested for new groups in September and/or the following terms:
Digging Deeper into the Bible (a specific book or doctrine), Thank God It’s Monday (for business people), The Alpha Course, The Marriage Course, Healing Course, Having Answers To Difficult Questions Group, Love Thy Neighbour (helping each other put on an outreach event or your neighbours), Creativity and Cake – making beautiful things, The Armour of God daytime ladies group, Walking the Way (Sunday afternoon family walk and then prayer at a home), The Parenting Course, New Christians Course, 20s and 30s Group, ‘Book club’ – working through the biography of a particular Christian, e.g. Smith Wigglesworth, George Muller, Corrie ten Boom, etc., The Welcome Group, Releasing The Leader Within….
