TERM CARD: Spring 2020

Home Groups

See the BIG bible story.  For the first part of 2020 our recommended study material for home groups is the Bible Course.  Through a mixture of video, discussion and reading we’ll travel from the beginning to the end of the bible story.  There are course booklets available for everyone taking part.

The ongoing SLOBS sessions will be helpful to each study leader in preparing to get the most from each section.  If you are leading a study then these SLOBS sessions will be essential to getting the best from this excellent resource from the Bible Society.
