Goodshaw Baptist ChurchHouse groups
We have a number of house groups, which meet for fellowship, Bible study and prayer at various times throughout the week. We encourage new members to the groups, regardless of whether they attend our church. Many of our activities take a break during school holidays, so please check with the group host before attending.

Tuesday | This Tuesday evening house group meets at Jayne Haworth's house for Bible study, prayer and support in growing to know Christ, and each other through Christ. We gather from 7.45pm for coffee/tea, and commence study at 8pm aiming to finish around 9.30pm. At present the group is made up of 9 ladies, but men are welcome. We usually follow notes that last between 6 and 12 studies, and choose from a variety of Christian resources. We would welcome any newcomers, and you don't have to be a member or attending our fellowship to join us in seeking Christ. | Jayne Haworth Bev Farrow |

Wednesday | Our group meets at 20 Cranberry Rise on a Wednesdays from 7.00 – 8.15pm. We started to meet as a result of the whole church focus on 40 Days of Community. Although not an objective, all attendees are men. One week we will watch and discuss a message from a Christian speaker taken from YouTube. The following week we will have a social evening, enjoying activities such as pool, darts or a walk. There is usually a cake and a brew included somewhere! We find that this is a good opportunity to get to know each other better so that we can build friendships and support each other. For more details, please ring Julian. | Julian Rogers |
