FELLOWSHIP

Opportunities for people to get to know one another, enjoy common pastimes or activities, or to support and encourage one another are made available through a range of fellowship groups:

FELLOWSHIP TEAS                      

Four times per year Elders lead a short worship service followed by a shared meal.  The worship begins at 5.30pm usually on a Sunday evening.  The event is over by about 7.30pm to enable young families to get children to bed. 

CHOIR

Much more than a fellowship group, members come together on Thursday evenings at 7.45pm to prepare for Sunday worship and future musical extravaganzas.  However, its value as a fellowship group cannot be understated – much laughter, support and encouragement happens through this group.

PLAYGROUP

Thursday mornings 10-11.30am at the church.  Parents and pre-school age children come together to play, learn, eat and share the journey of life together.

PARENTS SUPPORT GROUP

Once a month this group come together to share the joys and concerns of Primary school aged parenting.  They usually meet for coffee or tea at 2pm on a Thursday before school pick up at 3.00-3.30pm.

YOUTH GROUP

For the Junior Youth Group, see our 'Upcoming Events' pages.  There are currently no Senior Youth Group activities occurring, but we hope this is only a temporary situation.

MEN'S GROUP

The men of our congregation gather once a month for breakfast (lashings of toast & toppings with tea, coffee or Milo and social time together (or is it secret men's business?). Often it is interspersed with a particular activity, outing  or task.  They meet on the first Saturday of the month at St Thomas' at 9.00am.

LADIES' GROUP

Not to be outdone by the men, the ladies of our congregation have also started to meet once a month - usually for a morning tea or coffee and a chat, sometimes at the church but often at a cafe in the local region.  They meet on the third Saturday of the month  (starting at least) at St Thomas' at 9.00am.

CRAFT GROUP

Monday afternoons there is a buzz happening in the meeting room of the church.  It may be voices laughing, talking or needles clacking … but it always means activity.  The craft group meet every second Monday afternoon for a couple of hours to learn new skills, share skills and make articles for use by local outreach agencies.

CPU  [Computer People Unlimited] 

A small but enthusiastic self-help group that meets on Thursdays at 1.30pm to help each other with the computer problems and to learn about using various pieces of software and the Internet.  Although we occasionally meet at St Thomas' for general discussions or learning opportunities, we normally meet in individual members' homes so each member gets hands-on experience with using whatever current software we are learning about. We've not yet branched into hardware, but, as the 'Unlimited' in our name says, all we need are the people with the skills!
