Riverbank sessions

CONNECT - for mid-week/Home League groups

These sessions explore a range of themes linked to the Riverbank Women's Conference run by the Family Ministries Department. Its name has its origin in Scripture:

• ‘On the Sabbath we went a little way outside the city to a river-bank, where we thought people would be meeting for prayer, and we sat down to speak with some women who had gathered there.’ 

(Acts 16:13 NLT)

When Paul and Timothy landed in the city of Philippi, instead of finding a group of men with whom they could share the good news of Jesus, they encountered the first women’s fellowship recorded in the New Testament. They met Lydia, a businesswoman dealing in luxurious purple cloth, together with a group of women. As a result of this encounter with Paul and Timothy, Lydia and her household were converted!

We want to invite you to the Riverbank to meet with other women and discover a place to:

• encounter God in worship
• engage in Christian teaching
• explore our God-given potential
