Women's Evening Group

This is a community group for women in the church. We aim to meet together in someone's house at 7:45 with some tea and cake, and a time to catch up with what is going on in each others lives. We then usually either aim to think deeper about a recent sermon, or look at a bible passage or topic together before finishing with prayer. For more information speak to Rach or Lisa
