Growing in Faith
GROWING IN FAITHThere are regular opportunities at the Good Shepherd for those wanting to explore the Christian faith, and for those wanting to grow in faith and fellowship with other Christians. Emmaus Course – ideal for those who would like to learn more about the Christian faith and what it means to be a Christian. The next course begins after Easter. Do contact us if you are interested. Alpha Course – organised by our neighbouring parish of All Saints, Boyne Hill. Bible Study Group – meets on the 1st Tuesday of every month from 8-9.30 pm. We use the Sunday readings coming up during the month as the focus for discussion and learning together.
G.I.F.T. Group (Growing in Faith Together) This group was set up with the needs and interests of those adults confirmed in recent years particularly in mind. It is open to anyone else who would like to join us. We meet on Monday evenings once a fortnight from 8 – 9.30 pm. See our spring programme.
Lent Courses - Every year a Lent course is organised. Where possible afternoon and evening groups are offered. Recent courses we have done include: ‘Life Source’ - a course on prayer ‘Exploring the Void’ - a course based on the film ‘Touching the Void’. ‘Life Attitudes’ - a course on The Beatitudes. This Lent we are using a course called 'Everyday Bread' which explores the Eucharist. Lent groups begin the week beginning 27th February. More details shortly.
Advent EveningsEach year we run several special Advent evenings to prepare for Christmas. Details for Advent 2012 will be available in early November.
Other groups and courses are also organised as the need arises. Details of groups and courses on offer for children and young people can be found elsewhere on the website. If you would be interested in joining any of the groups and courses on offer, please contact the Church Office: 01628-632567 or email us: goodshepherd@chogs.plus.com |
