Church Groups and Organisations

Tuesday Afternoon Fellowship meets every Tuesday at 2.00pm when all can enjoy fellowship and friendship. The meeting commences with a short devotion followed by an invited speaker giving a talk or demonstration on a variety of subjects, often illustrated with slides, etc. A warm welcome awaits anyone who wishes to join us - so why not come along - and bring a friend as well.

Monday Club is open to all ladies - from Knutsford Methodist Church and any friends they may wish to invite. In order to provide an informal atmosphere the meetings are normally held in member's homes. Each meeting is opened with prayer; tea, coffee and delicious cakes are served at the end, as we enjoy a lovely atmosphere of friendship and care for each other.

FOCUS is a mid-week church fellowship meeting for men and women. All are welcome. The programmes are varied and include talks on various kinds of service in the community, travellers' tales, musical and slightly literary evenings and devotional talks.
The meetings are held fortnightly on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday evenings at 8.00pm in the homes of members.

WELCOME
This is a friendly, happy playgroup (originally established in 1972) where we welcome children from age 2 to school-age.

Would you be interested in exploring the Christian faith further through 'Alpha' or within Home Groups? Our current course (the third in our most recent series) started in January 2008. Those of us who have helped with Alpha never cease to be amazed how God breaks through into people's lives, revealing Jesus personally through the working of His Holy Spirit.

The Junior Church meets every Sunday morning at the same time as the 10.45am morning Service.

The Monday Afternoon Bible Class is not strictly a house group as we meet in the Small Hall at Knutsford Methodist Church. Our meetings are held on the second and fourth Mondays of the month from 1.30pm to 3.00pm. The group was established at the beginning of 2001 to cater for the "leisured class" i.e. those who are not working on Monday afternoons. It is led by Bob B. There are about ten regular attendees, but anyone is welcome to come.

The Tuesday Bexton Lane group meets twice monthly on the first and third Tuesday in each month at 7.45pm. The group began as an Alpha course but has expanded and evolved since. Meetings include an informal Bible study and a time for prayer, both preceded and followed by coffee.

The Grassfield Way House Group meets on every Thursday during term-time from 1.15pm to 3.00pm. It was established in the early 1980s and currently has a dozen or so members. The origins of this group actually go back even earlier, when women from St John's Anglican church invited women from Knutsford's Methodist Church (KMC) to join them for Bible study. The group evolved from this, meeting in various members' houses and has been held at Grassfield Way for some years now. The members are all women but this is probably due to husbands traditionally being at work. Currently the membership represents every decade from 20s to 90s and we very much value all the individual life-experiences. The wide age-range often produces interesting debate and exchange of views. We start with tea (and not infrequently some of Judy's scrumptious cakes) and exchange news and recall anyone known to be in need of prayer. At the present time the leadership is shared - members taking turns in leading the Bible Study. Everyone is encouraged to share in discussion and to consider the practical application of God's word in our lives and the relevance of the Bible today. Our aim is to grow spiritually in the knowledge and love of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and to become more effective witnesses in our daily lives through our actions and words. We are very supportive of each other and we share our joys and concerns. Prayers are said for persons or causes raised by members each week and a confidential telephone Prayer Chain has been operating for some years now. This can be activated by any member and is a source of great support when members receive bad news to know that the group is united in prayer at any time. We break off during school holidays, and at the end of each "term" we invite friends, neighbours or relatives who we think would enjoy the fellowship of such an afternoon when members bring a poem, favourite Bible reading or a piece of music. We welcome you to "give us a try" without obligation if you think you might like to spend Thursday afternoons in this way. If transport is a problem we may be able to help.

Meetings normally take place on the 2nd and 4th Thursday evenings of each month, starting at 8.00pm. This group was formed in March 2001.

An occasional Sunday morning get-together, specifically for men, to enjoy a good home-cooked breakfast and relaxed discussion.

We meet on Thursdays from 3.45-5.15pm. All children between 7-11 years are welcome.
