We believe that faith goes deeper than just listening to a talk on Sunday morning. From Women’s Groups, to Bible Studies, to “Beer, Books and Banter”, we have something for everyone to explore what faith means in the journey of life.

We are a diverse group of believers who come together on Thursday evenings in a home either in Brantford or Paris during the school year. We start with “tea” and chatting for 15 minutes (hence the Kettle). We engage in studies that are typically 4-6 weeks long and this could be a variety of books of the bible, podcasts, video series, or books. We end each week in prayer. We will be starting the season on September 24th with a 6-week study on the book of Colossians. The group will then study several parables, as crowd-sourced from the group. The 6 parables we have chosen will be led by several different members to study and have engaging discussions. This would take us to Christmas. We are still looking for and are open to ideas for the New Year.

Our group has three couples and two women, who are widows. The average age of the people in our group is 80 plus but anyone in their 70s looking for the encouragement of being a part of a supportive community would be welcome.

We are currently studying Proverbs but in such a way that anyone who joins ouir group would be able to easily join in. We are meeting on the first and third Monday of the month. We start at 2:00 pm and aim for 3:30pm but no later than 4:00pm.

Beginning on Tuesday February 3 we will meet every other week and do a study on who Jesus claimed to be from the Gospel of John. There are seven times Jesus says “I am”…the bread, the light, the way, the truth, etc. It will be a fun study to look at a different “I am” each week. We plan to use a small study book to help us along. We will meet for coffee or tea at 7:00pm, share life and then move into our study. If this idea intrests you, then let us know so we can prepare accordingly. This is an open group so if you know or want to invite others, feel free to do so.
