Midweek Communities
In the book of the Acts Christians celebrated in the temple courts, in homes, in big groups and in small groups. They prayed, they praised, they heard from the apostles the words of Jesus and celebrated with the meal that reminded them of his life, his cruel death and his glorious resurrection.
Jesus himself said 'Wherever two or three are gathered together in my name there am I in the midst of them.'
Our midweek communities are an opportunity to share with each other and deepen our walk in faith.
