HOUSE GROUPS – September to November 2016
will be following the course
The Joy of the Gospel
By Paula Gooder
This six-part course is based on Pope Francis' much acclaimed reflections on mission and evangelism, published as Evangelii Gaudium.
Widely recognised as offering wisdom and vision for all Christians in a culture that is often hostile to the church, Evangelii Gaudium offers a positive and realistic approach to sharing faith in the modern world.
Paula Gooder introduces its key themes to readers in all denominations and challenges them to consider its application in their own contexts.
The course comprises six sessions:
13th September - Joy and the Gospel
27th September - Going Forth
11th October - Saying Yes and Saying No
25th October - Proclaiming the Gospel
8th November - Making the Kingdom Present in Our World
22nd November - Being Filled with the Spirit
We meet fortnightly on a Tuesday night from 7.30pm to 9.00pm and the first session on 13th September will be at The Vicarage 49a Ribchester Road.

House Group Meetings Spring 2014 Build on the Rock: Matthew 7:24 Faith, doubt – and Jesus
Tuesdays: 7.30 pm – 9.00 pm January 28th, February 11th, 25th, March 11th, 25th.
This is a new ‘York Course’ written by John Young, Canon Emeritus of York Minster. The Course starts by looking at faith and doubt. Is it wrong – or is it normal and healthy – for a Christian to have doubts? Is there any evidence for a God who loves us? At the heart of a Christian answer lies Jesus himself – this 5 Session Course considers his ‘strange and beautiful story’ and reflects upon his teaching, his death, his resurrection and his continuing significance. 1. Believing and doubting – January 28th at The Vicarage 2. Jesus – our teacher - February 11th at 4, Valley Road 3. Jesus – our saviour - February 25th 4. Jesus – conqueror of death - March 11th 5. Jesus – Lord and brother - March 25th
Venues for Sessions 3-5 to be announced
