Why not go Swedish?

Here's a really helpful generic tool for Bible study - very handy starting place for planning and leading lifegroup studies.
The method has 5 basic questions (represented by 5 symbols) to ask and you can apply these questions to any Bible chapter, passage or verse.

The bones of the questions are...
What is new or what stands out to you from the passage?
What questions do you have about the passage and it's meaning or context?
Where do you see Jesus/His mission in this passage?
How can you apply the lessons from this passage to your life?
Who should you discuss or share this passage with?

As a lifegroup you could simply go through a book of the Bible together and each session look through these questions as a group.
Or if you are due to lead a study - this can be a helpful tool for you to use in your preparations to help write your discussion questions.
I've used the method by asking people to draw 5 equally sized boxes on a sheet of paper, a symbol in each box and then read the passage in 2 or 3 different versions of the Bible.
As the passage is read people listen and scribble their thoughts within the boxes. At the end we'd share our thoughts together, one box at a time.

Take a look at the detailed explanation below, we hope it's of you use to you :)

What happens on a Sunday? Where do I go? What about my children? What can I expect in a service?

Our Sunday worship service is at 10:30am, finishing around 12 noon.

Morning worship services take place in the main hall.

Children:

Pre-school: go to the Basement, a cafe-style room downstairs which is accessed through the door to the left of the stage in the main hall. You are welcome to leave your child with the team on duty or stay with them during the session.

or going up the stairs through the doors either side of the foyer.

Accessed from the back of the balcony, or going up the stairs through the doors either side of the foyer, then through the upper hall, follow the steps and into the youth room.

Ages 15-18: meet before the service for a breakfast club to have a chat with that mornings speaker

What?

Our services are informal- feel free to sit, stand, observe or join in!
Our sung worship is band led, contemporary in style, and there will be a time for prayer, testimonies, hearing teaching from the Bible as well as communion twice a month.
There is also opportunities for prayer ministry at the end of the service.

The main entrance to our building has a ramp, we have a hearing aid loop in the foyer and main hall, most Sunday's include some makaton friendly worship and there is a disabled toilet located in the foyer.

We will do everything we can to help with access to other areas of our building. For further information, please contact the church office.
