Homegroups

Homegroups meet every week and are a vital part of our Church's life. They are the main focus for pastoral care and a key way that faith develops into maturity, and so the focus is on Bible study, prayer, and mutual care and encouragement. These groups help Christians grow in confidence about their beliefs, and in their relationship with Jesus and with each other. We encourage all who worship with us to be part of a homegroup.

Each homegroup is unique, and arranges its own pattern of study, depending on the needs and interests of the group. Some of these groups have begun following on from the Alpha Course, as new Christians become hungry to discover more about their faith and the Bible.

Thursday Fellowship

Specially geared to meet the needs of an older generation, the Thursday Fellowship provides a mid-week opportunity to meet together for friendship, worship and teaching. It is a devotional meeting, using the Sankey & Moody songbook, and with a variety of guest speakers, and occasional outings.

The faith of an older generation has created today's heritage - a legacy handed on with love and received with gratitude. These are some of our most loyal members, and many of them have been a faithful part of this church for several decades.

Worship in Residential Homes

We regularly visit two local residential homes, Copper Beeches and Furzehatt House, to lead an act of worship for the residents who are not able to visit the church.

Day Centre

Held on the first Wednesday of each month except January in our Norley Hall at Plymstock United Church, this is a day with friends, food and entertainment, for people who are alone or who have difficulty getting out and about. Transport is provided to and from the Day Centre, which begins around 10.00 am and continues to 3.00 pm.

The day normally includes: morning coffee, a raffle, luncheon, devotions led by a Minister, entertainment and afternoon cup of tea. This is a joint event organised by the churches in the Plymstock area. The cost is £3 per person.

At Christmas we organise a similar event for Christmas Day, with lunch and a party!
