Wednesdays, Church Extension, 10am, term time.
Oasis is a group for women of all ages at St. Toms who want to meet God, meet friends and live life better. We meet on Wednesday mornings during term time at 10 a. m. in the church extension and always start with refreshments – freshly brewed coffee or tea and something nice to eat – an important time to catch up with friends and meet new people. (We have a crèche, should you need to use it, but not all of us need to. Some of us haven’t got to that stage yet, some of us are past it!) Then we move into worship and prayer before studying God’s word. Every week is different: we may have different people leading the morning or we may watch a DVD. Sometimes we have group discussions and there is usually a time for sharing any concern for prayer with a friend. Our group is a safe place where confidences are respected and trust grows.
Also important to our group, and running alongside our spiritual growth and refreshment, is our witness to our friends and our local community. Open mornings with breakfast or coffee and cake; craft mornings; coffee mornings in homes with our neighbours; blessing the community by giving out seasonal treats are all events which happen regularly as part of our programme. The aim is to widen our circle of friends, to bless them, love them and pray for them, so that we may get to know one another and Jesus better and be there for one another when needed. We enjoy “doing life” together! Come and do it with us!
“With Love” is a twice yearly gathering of women and girls where we get together at St.Tom’s to be encouraged by all that God is doing in our lives. You don’t have to belong to St. Tom’s or any church, you don’t even have to be a Christian but you do have to be female to come. We aim to have fun/bless people/encourage people/praise God for what He is doing/listen to people’s stories/eat treats and generally have a girlie evening.
Come and join us and be encouraged.
