2. Catalyst-slide-BibleSmall 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. 

Tuesday Afternoon - Fortnightly

  • 2:00pm to 4:00pm on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month in one of the member’s home
  • There is always Bible Study, chat, tea and cake
  • Our focus is Bible Study and usually each person has a study book which they but themselves, e.g. a “Life Builder” study or one from “The Goodbook Company”
  • We are mostly older ladies, but will welcome younger members who would like to study the Bible

Wednesday Evening - Fortnightly

  • 8:00pm on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month.  We normally meet in a home, but presently we are meeting on zoom
  • After a chat, we study a passage from the Bible, usually as part of a series following a guide book.  Discussion is lively and helpful, and we end by praying together and for each other. We aim to finish that around 9:00pm.  We continue chatting over coffee and cake at the end
  • 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.
  • We enjoy meeting up socially for coffee and the occasional meal together.
