Faith
House Groups, Prayer, Conferences
Exploring ways to deepen your faith and improve your connection with God.
![[Bible passage]](/images/bible.jpg)
House Groups are groups of up to around twelve people that meet usually once a fortnight in someone's home to discuss the bible in more depth than is possible in a sermon or talk.
What happens at a House Group meeting?
We have a time of worship, perhaps with some music, either listening or singing. We then look at the Bible together and discover how to apply it to our daily lives, before bringing one another’s needs to God in prayer. Meetings last around two hours and include time to catch up socially.
Why join a House Group?
- To get to know other church members in a more informal setting. This enables us to form strong and genuine friendships with other Christians.
- To look at God’s word in more depth with more time for discussion. We can learn how to apply God’s word to our lives, and freely and openly ask questions.
- To help us grow in our Christian lives and deepen our relationship with God. We can discover and use our spiritual gifts and seek to understand God’s will for our lives.
- To pray for each other, the church, our neighbourhood and the world and to be encouraged as we see prayers answered.
- To build each other up, support and care for each other and grow in faith together.
Pray without ceasing.
Prayer is an important part of who we are as Christians as we seek to spend time in God’s presence and allow him to shape us, as well as bringing before him the needs of our world, community, and church.
There are many opportunities to pray – here are a few.
Online
Daily prayer is on Facebook at 9:00am on Mondays and 10:00am on Fridays.
The services use the Ffald-y-Brenin, Iona, or Common Worship form of Morning Prayer.
These prayer videos remain available for you to access later via on our YouTube Channel.

New Wine is a week-long summer conference giving us an opportunity to be part of a huge celebration of God's generosity and grace. It is a time for people of every age to:
- encounter God in heartfelt worship,
- learn from his Word and his Spirit,
- be transformed in body, mind and spirit,
- get equipped to serve him in new ways,
- gain fresh vision from what he is doing elsewhere in the world and
- be part of something that is bigger than the local church.
Who is New Wine it aimed at?
It is aimed at both grown-ups - and the not-so-grown-ups!
For adults, mornings begin with wonderful Spirit-filled worship and inspirational teaching followed by a huge selection of relevant seminars which continue into the afternoon. In the evening there is more live worship and a different guest speaker each day. After each talk there is prayer ministry for those who would like it and we have found this prayer transformative. Then for the night owls there is after-hours entertainment as well!
There is a packed programme for children and youth with top quality teaching, worship, games, craft and sport.
