New Home Group

We are planning on starting a home group in Great Glen. This will be a weekly group and we will meet in somebody's house. The purpose of the group will be to have fellowship and get to know each other better and to study the Word of God together. 

We hope to have our first get together by the end of September.

There is a sign up sheet at the back of St Cuthbert's church to help us get an idea of numbers and we'd be grateful if you could add your name and your preferred days to this if you're interested in coming along. Gemma
