House Groups are small groups of people from within the two churches of St. Swithun and
St. Mark who meet together at various times and places throughout the week, to learn and pray together.
Ideally groups meet every two weeks. That way if someone has to miss a meeting it is not too long until the next one.
During meetings the members of the group will pray and learn together, deepen friendships and spend time encouraging one another to learn and grow in faith. The aim is to help each other to live out their Christian faith in a practical, applied and whole life way.
The House Group is a place where burdens can be shared and joys celebrated together.
In homes around the parishes.
House Group members are there to share their Christian lives and journeys together:
We all come with different levels of knowledge and understanding. House Groups welcome and embrace people where they are.
Material will be provided by the clergy and it is then up to the group leader to use it as appropriate in the context of his/her group. An example of the sort of material used could be a simple bible study course such as ‘Women of the Old Testament’ which proved to be an interesting study on a previous occasion. Leaders will be given help and guidance by the clergy if required.
