Seniors LifeGroup

Exciting New Seniors Lifegroup Launching Soon! The leadership team at New Horizon Church is delighted to announce the launch of a brand-new initiative designed especially for our senior members — the Seniors Lifegroup. We believe this group will be a valuable and enriching addition to our Church community, offering both meaningful fellowship and spiritual growth. The Seniors Lifegroup will meet once a month on Thursdays, and will be led by Roy and Gill Wright. The group will take place during the daytime in the upstairs coffee house at New Horizon Church. You may already be aware that we currently offer a soup lunch for those aged 65 and over on Thursdays. We've noticed how many of our senior members already gather for this meal, and so we've designed the new group to follow naturally after this existing connection point. During the warmer months, instead of soup, attendees will be able to enjoy a complimentary barista-made drink as part of our hospitality. The group will begin on Thursday, 8th May, with the exact start time to be confirmed. Each session will include: — A warm and welcoming social time — A Bible-based study �� A time of prayer and reflection We encourage all interested to speak to Roy or Gill to express your interest in being part of this exciting new group. More detailed information will be shared in the coming weeks.
