Fenton Road Housegroup - Meets Tuesday 8.00
Fenton Road - Jan and Mike
A small but friendly housegroup, currently with seven members from St
Michael’s. We always welcome new members from any of the churches.
The weekly meetings tend to follow the format of worship, study
(sometimes a book of the Bible, sometimes a theme) and prayer. We also
enjoy eating together on a regular basis, to which we invite partners
who may not normally come to the group, and also sometimes invite other
members of St Michael’s especially those who are new to the church.
Monk Road Housegroup - Meets Tuesday Evenings
Monk Road - Tim
We are a group from St Michael’s meeting for fellowship, Bible
study, prayer and support. We also enjoy the occasional meal together
and go on holiday together. We always welcome new members.
Kent Road Home Group - Meets alternate Tuesdays 8.00-9.30
Kent Road - Steve and Jan
The group is now meeting on alternate Tuesdays. We meet at 8.00 and
endeavour to finish promptly at 9.30. In the past we have studied Bible
passages, Christian books such as Jim Packer’s ‘Knowing God’
and John Stott’s ‘Basic Christianity’ and have explored
ways of worshipping together. The group encourages honest discussion of
issues. We usually end with a brief period of sharing and intercessory
prayer.
Church of the Good Shepherd - Tuesday Morning Group
Alternate Tuesdays10.15-12.00
Longmead Avenue - Janet
We meet for prayer, Bible study and mutual support. Our recent studies
have included topics from the Lifebuilder Bible series, a course on
healing, and Meditations and Payers by Eddie Askew.
Thursday Afternoon Group - Meets Thursday 2.00-3.30
Kellaway Avenue - Varna
We are seven retired ladies who meet to study the Bible, enjoy a chat
with tea and biscuits and pray for concerns within the group and at St
Michaels’s. We belong to Christian Women Communicating
Interdenominational which produced the Know Your Bible books which we
study. KYB studies are designed to help women through personal study and
group sharing to know God’s word and message today. Through the
CWCI we are invited to attend occasional conventions to listen to
excellent speakers who provide teaching and guidance on different
aspects of Christian life. We enjoy our happy afternoons and welcome
anyone wishing to join us.
Diles’ Housegroup - Meets Thursdays 8.00-10.00
Springfield Grove - Graham and Helen
Sometimes challenging, sometimes amusing, but always thought-provoking,
we have some lively discussions in this supportive group. Members bring
a variety of Christian experience and backgrounds, and feel comfortable
to ask questions about their faith. We use a range of resources and
learning styles. The group has members from more than one church centre
and we would welcome newcomers from across the parish.
Church of the Good Shepherd Bible Study Group
Meets Mondays 10.00
Queens Drive - Brenda
This group of eight ladies, two from St Bonaventure’s and the
remainder from Church of the Good Shepherd, has been meeting regularly
for some years. Our sessions are based on the ‘Lifebuilders Bible
Study’ and include studies of the Old and New Testaments. We
concentrate on Bible Study only but set aside time for prayer whenever
we meet.
Monday St Bart’s Group - Term time 2nd and 4th Mondays
Chesterfield Road - Sheila
Our focus is on fellowship, centred around Bible-based discussion,
relating our faith to today’s world, sharing our concerns and
praying for them together. Once every two months we have a time of
meditation (silent prayer) and then share prayers, poems or other
writings that we have found very significant. New people are welcome.
Open House Group - 2nd & 4th Wednesdays 8.00-9.45
Effingham Road - David
We aim to have a homely environment in which we can all share our
spiritual concerns about living in today’s world. This is a place
where we can feel comfortable in talking about our faith and our
relationship with the Lord Jesus, our church and witness, our beliefs
and opinions and our Christian concern for others. Discussion is
wide-ranging over many topics. We share the Word of God from the
scriptures, prayer and the ministry which others bring to us when they
come as visitors. We are open to all comers in the knowledge that Jesus
turns no-one away, that He came to serve, that He still comes and we
thank God our Father that He does.
St Barts Tuesday Group - Meets Tuesdays 7.00
Sommerville Road - Jill
This is a group of seven or so mature folk who meet for a traditional
Bible study on a regular basis. Colin Nicholls ably leads the studies.
We alternate between studies in the Old and New Testaments.
