Bible Study & Prayer Group
Usually meets on the 2nd & 4th Mondays of each month at 7.30pm in the Church meeting room, for about an hour and a half.
Intended for those new to the bible as well as those who know a little more. It is an informal group with everyone having an opportunity to contribute. Since 1980 a lot of topics have been covered – The Lord’s Prayer, the Beatitudes, Psalms, Proverbs, several New Testament letters, and then more recently Ruth and Daniel.
Fellowship
Meets every third Wednesday afternoon of the month from October through to April. A wide range of speakers come to entertain members, often including slides in their presentations. There is a cup of tea and time to meet others. The highlight of the programme is the Christmas meeting, at which everyone brings something for the food table. A guest speaker is usually invited to the occasion, which makes for a most enjoyable time. The Membership is open to anyone, there being a small annual subscription to cover the costs of speaker’s fees. You are most welcome!
Mothers Union
Christian concern for families of all faiths worldwide. Originated in 1876, it now has 3 million members all over the world.
You do not have to be married or indeed a mother to join. Membership is open to all, including men. People are very welcome to the local meetings and details of becoming a nation MU member can be supplied.
St. Margaret’s branch usually meets twice a month, where we have a varied and interesting programme, sometimes with a speaker and sometimes with a service in church.
Pray Together
Currently there are only a small number of people who meet together on a Tuesday from 11am-12noon for prayer. Prayer requests from the prayer board and from Sunday are brought to God. The work and life of the church is also upheld in prayer.
St. Margaret’s Guild
Open to women and men. The Guild is practically based, organising the Church flowers, polishing the metal work and vessels, and laundering the communion linens. The Guild meets from time to time through the year, most people help via a rota. The Guild also holds fundraising events such as the Advent Fair, with their profits going to fund the special church decorations. Donations towards festival flowers are also very welcome.
The Guild is also just completing a programme to make and provide new kneelers for the whole of the church.
