Bible Study Group

Meets: 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month in the Bradbury Centre (John) at 10:30
Contact: Malcolm Ray-Smith

We meet on the second and fourth Thursday of each month.  We completed looking at the Letter to Hebrew Christians by reading a chapter at each meeting and discussing how we relate the writing to our present circumstances.  After Hebrews we spent a number of sessions studying Hosea which we found very challenging.  As Barclays Bank are now renting a room, we have moved to John and have chosen Paul's letter to the Romans to consider next.

We meet at 10.30 am in John, led by Rosi Morgan-Barry, John Williams and myself, and would gladly welcome others to join us.

Prayer Group

Meets: Every Tuesday at the Church (in John) at 10:45
Contact: Rosi MorganBarry

The prayer group continues to meet every Tuesday, at 10.45.

We begin by giving thanks for blessings received, whatever that may be for each of us.

We then consider the daily news: international, national and local; often wondering why the ‘News’ as reported on radio and television is seldom, if ever, ‘good news’.  But the reports of disasters, wars, conflicts, political shenanigans (as my father used to call them), which take up the main part of the daily News, are the things which require our prayers.  And, no doubt, God has heard them all before.

We pray for the work of our church and community, and for the people of Wokingham.

We then continue to hold in prayer all those known to each of us: our families and friends who may need prayer support for situations in their lives.

Prayer group then ends with the Lord’s Prayer, and the blessing.

Monday Evening House Group

Meets: Generally 1st Monday of each month in a member’s home at 19:30.
Contact: David or Christine Morgan

Following on from the Methodist Way of Life programme, we re-started the Monday evening House Group in October 2024, having been in abeyance since 2020.  We meet generally on the first Monday of the month, starting at 7.30 (for a cup of tea or coffee) for study start at 8pm.

We have looked at “What does it mean to be a Methodist?” and “Methodists in Society”: we shared a discussion on the Covenant Service, and looked also at some common elements between Christianity and Islam.
