Our meetings together are different every time - we share and discuss relevant biblical topics, we cover areas of parenting, marriage, worship, meals, listening to music, poetry, we laugh, cry and pray, we even pull the odd dance move (Ha ha!) - but in everything we do we leave feeling encouraged, inspired, lighter in our hearts, knowing that we are supported by each other.
We encourage people to get involved in a Life Group, it's all about sharing Life with each other and not having to go it alone.
This helps group is designed to be available for anyone needing assistance with gardening, moving house and any other odd jobs they are unable to for themselves (eg illness, circumstances, age etc). It is a small group consisting of the Lilley family with help from the Dowling Life Group and others as and when.
If you are wiling to help out with necessary jobs around the Factory then maybe you can help with maintaining our little garden at the front of the Factory and the grass around the our boundary fence?
