Follow the weekly sermon:
This group does what it says on the tin, as it aims to highlight the significant components of the journey Jesus is taking us on, through thoughtful discussion of the weeks sermon . We hope that this will contribute to the transformation that He is making in of each one of us and of our community, as He changes us into the kind of community that He intended for His church to be, and also, that we would become the kind of people that He originally intended us to be.
So, expect to be amazed.

Mere Christianity
Book Club: Part 2
The plan is that all Book club participants will buy the book from Mary, that will ensure we will all be reading & referring back to the same page during discussion time. Cost max €10. (If you are unsure about covering this, please don’t let that stop you signing up.)
The 3 of us have studied Book 4 of Mere Christianity several times over the past couple years & each found that it helped us understand the Gospel in a whole new way.
Lewis' illustrations really lend themselves to opening your mind & prompting you to delve further & explore how you yourself understand the Gospel.
If you're interested in taking time (and it does require time) to studying Lewis' perspective we'd love you to join our group & share & learn from eachother.
You won't be disappointed.

Abba’s Child :
Available from Kindle or Amazon, Discover The Fathers love as we work through this life changing book Cost max €15 (If you are unsure about covering this, please don’t let that stop you signing up.)
The liberating message of this book is that God longs for us to know in the depths of our being that He loves and accepts us as we are. God is our "Abba", our loving father, who knows us far better than we know ourselves. The shocking revelation of Abba's Child is two-fold: that sin has a greater grip than we realize on our hearts, and that God loves us far more than we can imagine.
You won't be disappointed.

Alpha is open for everyone , and is an opportunity for people to explore their own faith and, it’s also a place where people can people invite their friends, who wouldn’t typically come to church for conversations about Jesus.
Inviting somebody to a Sunday gathering might feel like too big of a step, for the person doing the inviting, and for the person being invited.
So the heart behind alpha is to create a relaxed fun welcoming environment that's easy to invite people to. A space where guests are free to ask questions about the meaning of life, and have an opportunity to encounter Jesus for themselves.
The Alpha Film Series is designed for today’s audience. It was filmed all around the world, and features interviews with world-famous leaders and inspiring stories, who unpack the basics of the Christian faith in an updated and engaging way.
