Home groups are an ideal way to explore your faith further, to share, learn and grow.  Some groups meet during the day but typically they meet on a weekday evening in peoples homes, consisting of around 8 or more people, meeting regularly as the group decides. Groups are made variously from New Way and Classic, so there is a good mix of people in most groups.  A typical evening consists of prayer, bible passage, study and discussion.  Some groups follow particular courses with an accompanying book, others simply pick topics to be discussed. We also watch videos and sometimes we sing.  It's a very fluid, friendly environment, and home groups often have their own social events.

Home Groups Connection Event - Saturday 18th June 2025

Members of Holy Cross Home groups met in church for a “Connection” bring and share lunch, on Saturday 18th October. There was a great turnout and a wonderful selection of lunch savouries to choose from, followed by delicious home-made cakes. Julie, who very kindly made some scones, thoughtfully offered half spread with jam first with cream on top and half the other way round – so all tastes were catered for!

​

We were able to catch up with news from the six group leaders about when and where each group meets and the types of bible study or discussion topics they have been focussing on. Members shared how much they value the fellowship and support of their groups as they build relationships with each other and God on their own journeys of faith.

​

It was also wonderful to welcome guests who were not currently part of a group but who had come to find out more, some of whom have now arranged to visit a group.

​

Rev Rob Tugwell led us in a very thoughtful “dwelling in the word” bible study activity based on Luke 10:38-42, “Jesus at the home of Mary and Martha”. He also shared how much he valued the ministry of home groups describing them as “the engine room of the church”.

​

Many thanks to all those who helped in any way and for the very positive feedback from those who attended.
