BIBLE STUDIES
If we are to grow in faith it is important that we read our bible and pray. It is also important to study the bible. The parish offers 2 bible study groups for people to attended.
Bible Study Groups meet on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday each month at 11.00 am (run by Fr John) and the second group will meet at 7.30 pm (run by Gail Paxman). Both groups will be exploring the same material in LUKE’S Gospel.
