| Priory Housegroup | Tuesday, 1st December Coombe Drive | Don’t Be Afraid 1: Hope is hidden in plain sight, 2: A new chapter is beginning ADVENT – Don’t Be Afraid – A Methodist Resource Lots of us are afraid for lots of good reasons. But there are glimmers of goodness and love all around, like feathers fallen from an angel’s wing. Will you notice them? Experience awe and wonder together with others this Christmas. Advent can be a noisy season – full of activity, expectation and distraction. This small group resource is designed to offer a different kind of space: peaceful, reflective and real. A place of gezellig (a Dutch word that captures warmth, belonging and comfort in the company of a few others). A chance to pause, connect with others and listen for God together. These sessions are for anyone who wants to grow as a disciple of Jesus, alongside others. They’re rooted in the Advent lectionary and shaped by simple, thoughtful conversation. All that’s needed is a willingness to listen, share and make space for others.

| Ladies' Thursday Club | Thursday, 3rd December | Christmas Meal |

| On The Way course | Wednesday, 7th October for 6 weeks Zoom | On the Way - the new resource for faith explorers from the Methodist Church. I've had various conversations across the District, and I did say I would run a trial of the course to enable folk from Circuits to get a feel for it, in the autumn. However the fact it is a 12 week course meant it was tricky to fit in. Therefore I propose to run the first 6 weeks of the course before Christmas on Wednesday evenings starting 7th October. Hopefully this will enable folk in circuits to get a feel for this new resource and so decide for themselves how it would work in their local setting. Email Angela Turner, District Discipleship Enabler, for more details |
