Prayer & Listening’ Life group bible study material looking at different examples of praying in the bible and working out how we can practise these in our own lives. There’s not just one way to pray, God embraces all different styles. Would you like to join a life group for the six weeks? Or commit to attending your group every week for this series?
Life groups are small groups of adults in the church who meet on a regular basis to pray, read the bible, socialise, and share life together. For some this means meeting with friends over coffee, for others this group is the people they serve(volunteer) with.  We urge you to consider whether you’d like to join a life group, help us form a new life group, or sign up your friendship group/hobby group as a life group. Matthew 18:20 ‘For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.’
