Study Groups

Study Groups Logo

There are a number of adult Bible study groups that meet throughout most of the year, on Monday evenings and Tuesday mornings.

In November/December a series of Advent meetings are held with a particular theme and each Lent one or more courses are run, also with a particular theme.


Most years there is a Parish Quiet Day, on a Saturday, held at a suitable venue that allows the opportunity for prayer and contemplation with independent leadership.

A half-day study day in the autumn has also been successful and well attended. The last one was on aspects of the Eucharist.

The meetings are varied and include prayers and studying the Bible. Prayers are offered for those known to need help and support. Some group members feel they know very little about God, the Church or the Bible; some have spent a lot of time studying these things. They find that they all learn from each other and so welcome anyone who wants to join.

Lent Study Groups
Each year there are Lent study groups. In alternate years these have been ecumenical, which have been very successful. Lent Groups only take place during Lent each year. People wishing to participate sign up in the church and the groups are worked out from there. There are several different groups that meet at different times and in different people's homes. This is so that everybody can be accommodated at a suitable time.

Each group has a leader and a host. The leader prepares and organises each session and brings along any necessary visual and other aids. The host offers their home as a venue and provides refreshments.

Each year a different theme is followed and all the groups follow the chosen theme. This may be in the form of a book designed especially for such groups.
