Gathering@6

A service based around discussion and sharing. 

Gathering@6 is a small informal evening service “in the round”. It has three main elements: a simple liturgy including music; sharing of joys and concerns, about our own lives and about the wider world; and a discussion led by one of the group.

The topics discussed have included:  The notion of pilgrimage; looking again at the Apostles Creed; 'It's a Man's World. Through whose lens is the story told?'; Tolkien and theology;  and study of Bible passages, principally from the Gospels of Mark and John.

[Note: All our meetings are now via ZOOM except for the third Sunday in the month when we meet at Lyons for the ecumenical service. For most discussions background material will be circulated via email during the week prior.]

The topics for the current month can be found below:

•    7 Sep – "Our church’s new mural -  how the design emerged; what does it signify; and what does it say about WVUC?" Leader: Evan Mann 

•    14 Sep – "How Our Eschatology Shapes Our Environmental Action." Leader: Pastor Julie Connah
