Opportunities for this take place at our Sunday services and throughout the week. In our leadership structure Janet Turville has overall responsibility for this ministry. For more information please contact the Church Office. Please check the Diary or Notice sheet for up to date times and dates. Open House Groups: Most groups meet twice a month, mid week in the evenings, but some meet weekly and some during the day, and one at breakfast time. The purpose of these groups is to support one another in a more personal way than is possible in church, provide an opportunity to deepen our faith through Bible study and to pray together. More details can be obtained from the Church Office. We have just done a course "Building for Mission" which coincides with the Living Stones Project. More details here.
