It’s great that God has joined us together as a family of believers and we love to learn and be together. However, we also recognise that it can be helpful for men and women to meet separately too. This work can involve 1-2-1 bible study and prayer, but we also have a number of other activities too.
Men’s work
We have recently formed a new team to organise our men’s events. The planned events include: a breakfast, a curry, a walk, BBQ and as well as other exciting activities. There is a group who regularly meet to play football together. We also encourage the men to attend the SWGP Men’s Conference which usually takes place in October.
Whilst most of the above is more social, it is our hope that through deepening our relationships we are able to help disciple one another better. We are also piloting a new idea of reading a book together and then feeding back our thoughts via a dedicated WhatsApp chat.
Women’s work
We have two different monthly studies specifically available to women. Growth Group, which takes place once a month on a Friday morning which is led by our Women’s worker. We also have a monthly Bible study on a Saturday morning which is led by a team of women. There is also a social team who plan various events throughout the year.
We encourage our women to go to the annual Bath Women’s Conference which we always find helpful.
