Homegroups are a great way to build and deepen friendships made at church. They are an important way to support each other and stay connected. Church on the Corner is at an exciting stage of growth at the moment, so we are meeting as one big home group, (Home Group Central) to ensure that we can all be involved in the planning and shaping of Church on the Corner’s next chapter. If you would like to come along please speak to us after church.
What Typically Happens at a Homegroup Meeting?
We eat together, which is one of the simplest expression of community. Breaking bread and sharing the joys and sorrows of our day is life-giving and soul nourishing. We share responsibility each week, with one person cooking and another leading the Worship and Discussion.
We worship together: we simply stop and are present to the God who is with us, and remind ourselves that we are loved and part of God’s great story for the world. It can be very simple, and you might just say a prayer or include one of the following.
- A Psalm
- Evening Prayer
- Time of Silence
- Meditative Music
- A Canticle (a term used to describe a sacred chant or hymn)
We study and discuss what we read in Scripture. In practice, the most important part of a study isn’t Bible comprehension, but engaging, enriching discussion. You might not get to an answer that satisfies everyone, but the process is the important thing. We have a range of resources available for your group here. We aim to have for a short stimulating bit of input with questions to provoke discussion.
Finally, we pray.
