Connect
Welcome to a new way of using Connect !
Connect is now online and will be inspiring your mid-week/Home League groups – whether you are able to meet in person or virtually. Download the PDF or use the Word version and adapt for your own groups.
Each session reflects one of the four Home League values:
Worship is an interactive worship session for an informal setting, or café church.
Fellowship is a lighter session, often encouraging members to bring and share something of themselves.
Service features a range of ways of empowering your group to make a difference within the group and the wider community.
Education explores a wide range of light and serious topics.
We are offering you 12 session throughout the year. Check back regularly for more updates and more themes.
