Responsibility Groups
Whoever we are, whatever we've done, God welcomes us. Relationships matter to him – and to us, too. We prioritise the building of relationships through 'Responsibility Groups'.
We try to include everyone in the church in a Responsibility Group, no matter what our age and how involved in the life of the church we are so that, whatever else, someone will be praying for you.

.... then we attempt to DO things together....
This group took a leaf out of St.Paul and made a trip to Spain together!

Most groups include children as well as adults; some even include people who wouldn't say they're Christians yet!
Each group seeks:
- to encourage each other in our life of faith
- to develop ways of caring for each other
- to pray for ourselves and others
- to enable those group members (who wish) to meet together regularly
- to be 'responsible' for each other

There are currently seven groups, and attending members have opted to meet weekly or fortnightly, generally in different homes. Also, one of the groups regularly meets on Mondays at 9.15am (during term time) in our comfortable church foyer, for breakfast followed by bible study, and is part of our 'community presence'. The groups are:-
Danesholm, Grantham, "Get Closer" Young People's Group, Shire, Caldecott, Studfall, and the Monday Breakfast Group.
Scheduled Group meetings are:-
Monday Breakfast (9am) 9th January Caldecott (7.30pm) Thurs 12th January Danesholme (7.30pm) Thurs 19th January Get Closer (4.15pm) Tues to be advised Studfall (7.30pm) Thurs 12th January Grantham (7.30pm) Weds 18th January Shire (7pm) Thurs to be advised

Group meetings are typically a dozen or so church members who commit to supporting each other and those who do not attend, and together seek to put their Christian faith into practice.
What they do together varies according to the character of the group and whatever the church has agreed, but most meetings will include a relaxed mixture of social time, bible exploration & discussion, and some prayer together for the concerns of group members and for the needs of the wider community.
Being part of a Responsibility group can provide an opportunity to develop close friendships with a small number of people, and to take real steps forward in the Christian life.
