Evening group: A three-week Advent Study will be held on Zoom, Wednesdays 27 Nov, 4 & 11 Dec.

The study will use the same materials as the day time Advent Book Study.

The group will study and discuss the book “I am a Church Member” by Thomas Rainer. The book explores what it means to be a member of the church. Reiner emphasizes that church membership is not merely a title but a call to active engagement in our community. It's about being a living, breathing part of the body of Christ, contributing our unique gifts; time, talent and treasurer. It is about engaging in regular prayer, Bible study, and fellowship with other believers is essential for nurturing our faith and staying connected with God's purpose for our lives and the church. The book does not shy away from acknowledging the challenges that church members might face, from personal struggles to broader issues affecting the church community. Reiner encourages us to face these challenges together, leaning on our faith and each other for support and guidance.

There are several copies of the book available, so if you would like one please call the office to reserve. Participants are encouraged to reach a chapter or two in advance.

The evening will end with evening prayer.
