Church Groups
Here at Blaby Congregational Church we hold groups throughout the week to provide social or additional opportunities for Worship. Below is an overview of the Groups we offer for all ages
Prayer group
Our prayer group meet online via Zoom. Contact the Pastor if you wish us to pray for something or if you wish to join us. Check the events page for the date of next meeting.
The prayer group meets monthly (usually on the second Wednesday evening) for quiet reflection and prayer following a brief discussion on the issues and individuals that need our prayers.
Coffee, Cake & Conversation
Warm space and social. This is a social group which meets twice per month on a Thursday morning.
Come and join us in our cosy schoolroom for tea or coffee and cake.
Enjoy the puzzles and activities or just chat, relax and unwind. One to one private pastoral support is also available from Pastor Julie.
Check the events page for dates.
Bible study
Our Bible Study is now back to being held in person in our schoolroom, however if you wish to join remotely this can be arranged via Zoom.
We meet monthly (usually on the last Wednesday evening) for an hour of informal Bible study. Check the events page for the date of the next study.
We follow a theme for a number of months but each study is standalone so no need to attend every one. We delve deeper into the meaning and message of the Bible than we do during our weekly services.
Friday night club
A fun, educational group for primary school children (age 4-11) which meets 6 times per year (once every half term) on Friday afternoons from 3.30 - 6pm. Activities include baking, crafts, games and bible stories. Refreshments are provided when the children arrive and a hot meal is served before the children go home.
A small charge is made to cover the cost of food and craft materials. Check out the events page for the next meeting date. These children also join us every summer for our annual Holiday Club.
Friday Lunch
We have resumed serving lunch but are taking all necessary measures to keep you safe while Covid-19 is still around. Once per month (usually the last Friday) we serve a reasonably priced two course lunch to bring the community together. We adapt the menu each time to suit the weather and time of year. Dates and menus are advertised on posters around the village and outside the church. Come and join us for friendship and a lovely meal without having to cook and wash-up yourself!
Community lunch & Warm space
Warm space and free lunch.
Once per month on the first Saturday morning we open the church to everyone in Blaby and the surrounding villages.
Join us at 11am for tea or coffee and biscuits and enjoy a chat while we cook lunch. Lunch is served at 12 noon and is typically soup, jacket potatoes and a pudding.
Come and join us for friendship and a lovely meal without having to cook and wash-up yourself!
If you would like to chat privately to the Pastor this can be arranged.
