In the Benefice there are a variety of different groups which meet for fellowship, discussion, prayer and Bible study at a variety of different locations. Some groups are more social and are just a place where we can meet, and talk about issues which matter, others make more of an effort to study topics which relate back to the readings and sermons being used seasonally in church. Whilst its nice to meet in person over coffee or even breakfast, sometimes meeting remotely using a tool such a zoom makes it easier to join in. You can see a list of groups on our website: https://www.whitewaterchurches.co.uk/whatson/small-groups/Sometimes all the groups share the same theme (and the theme may also be used in our sermons in our church services), and at other times each group is following a different series of topics. Previous themes have included Nehemiah - and you can find some of the study materials on our website under resources: https://www.whitewaterchurches.co.uk/resources/teaching/Not all groups meet every week, if there is a time/place you are interested please contact the group leader or the Benefice Office to check the next date.
