Housegroups

We encourage everyone who makes Sundays@7 their church to join a housegroup. These are small groups of people who meet each Wednesday in somebody's home, and are a great way to grow together as followers of the Lord Jesus.

Usually, we have three housegroups that meet in different homes each week. This term, however, we are taking a break from our normal pattern and will be meeting all together on Wednesday evenings at Ed and Nicci Gilchrist’s house in Arborfield. We’re planning to provide food each week, so we can develop friendships over meals. Then we’ll look at the Bible and think about what it means for our lives, and pray together. In particular, we will be looking in more detail at some of the passages and subjects that we will be considering in our Sunday teaching programme. This will be a great opportunity for us to get to know one another better, and to become stronger as a church community. All who call Sundays@7 their church are welcome.

On the second Wednesday each month, we meet with people from the Barkham 9:30 congregation to pray together for what is happening at Barkham, in the wider church and for our mission partners.

If you lead a housegroup, the Bible Study prep sessions will be held on 8th September (studies 1-3), 6th October (studies 4-6) and 3rd November (studies 7-9).
