Small Groups at St Peter's Church
We have a range of home groups which meet for Bible study, prayer, fellowship and often a meal. We encourage everyone in the St Peter’s family to join a homegroup. They are a place to belong and connect and support each other as well as grow in God and have fun!
Below is a list of our groups
Monday Evening - Weekly
-
7.30pm to 9:00pm during term times in someone’s house.
-
We start with a social catch-up and chat, followed by reading the Bible. There then follows a general discussion, involving everyone. We finish with exchanging prayer requests.
-
Basically we exchange understandings, views and experiences, as they relate to the reading.
-
The passage read varies, according to which Bible Study Series (booklets) we are following. Recently we have used the LifeBuilder Series of booklets, which provides a wide choice of topic. Each group member is, in turn, invited to choose the next booklet.
Monday Evening - Weekly
-
7:30pm in a church member's home for about an hour
-
After a welcome and opening prayer, we read a passage from the Bible and have around forty-five minutes discussion on it. This is followed by a time to share prayer needs.
-
Our main focus is to read and respond to God’s word in Scripture and to support and encourage each other in our walk with God.
-
The meeting lasts about forty minutes. When we are able to meet again in a home we usually meet on Moreton Hall
Monday Evening - Fortnightly
-
7.30pm to about 9.30pm in one member’s home.

We start with drinks and a catch-up, then discuss either a Bible passage or a topic. We may use a study book or someone may prepare some questions.
-
Our focus is on sharing our understanding of the Bible and our experience of trying to live it out.

We are a small group of varying ages and knowledge. We try to let everyone have their say or ask questions. We also like to pray for one another's needs.

We enjoy each other’s company and try to support each other in our daily lives. Between meetings, we keep in contact via a WhatsApp group, where we encourage and support each other.
