Who are we?

An assortment of Christians from the Charnwood Forest area of Leicestershire, England. We are from a number of different church types ("Denominations") though some have no particular Church affiliation. Some have been Christians for many years while others have just started to explore the teachings of Christ. Our meetings, which are informal, include prayer and study of the Bible with discussions about our faith and how it informs our daily lives.

We have no written constitution and no explicit geographical limits!



Our Spring/Summer course is 1,2 & 3 John: Walking in the Truth by Claire Musters.

John was the disciple that Jesus loved, and as such, he was privileged to have walked and talked with Him. In these three letters, John encourages his readers with the invitation to a similar, dynamic relationship with Jesus. This encouragement is something we continue to need today so we hope that this study will spur you on as we work our way through it.

16th April at St Leonard's Church, Swithland - leader Jerry
