Home Groups

Kirk Session has decided that we would like to introduce home groups as an additional layer to our church life and community. Home groups provide opportunities for Bible study, personal prayer and fellowship in addition to Sunday morning worship and meetings of the prayer groups. They are an additional way of providing spiritual growth and development and are not a substitute for, or in competition with, Sunday morning public worship. More details on what home groups mean and the commitment involved can be found in the latest version of Pew News. If you are interested in joining a home group, there is a sign-up sheet in the vestibule which asks you for your name, address, contact details and preferences in terms of when to meet. Alternatively, please contact the Church office.
