We are a group of adults aged 40-65+ and includes those who have not made a profession of faith, but are on a journey with the rest of us. We are about discipleship, fellowship and outreach. Our ethos for outreach involves allowing people to feel they belong to the group through inclusion in all activities, as we travel with them on their journey to faith. Initial connections are made through personal friendships and through those of us who volunteer at Mosaic. We regularly have a meal together before the start of the weekly meeting as well as socials throughout the year.

GIBSON LIFE GROUP




Mark and Cheryl Gibson



Wednesdays



8.00pm



Bilton area of Rugby
We have a lovely diverse group of people in our Life Group of around 15 people. We focus on living and sharing life together with whatever God has in plan for us. We have a wide range of backgrounds in terms of church and where we are at with our relationship with God, but we have similar interests in terms of enjoying the outdoors, either through gentle hikes, riding bikes or serious sports alike! We also have been known to play a board game or two and enjoy sharing food together. We are still listening to God about the specific missional focus of our group but for now we have our 'front-lines' as our focus. We look at how we get to show and share our love for Jesus and his people to those we encounter on our front-lines. This is both in terms of helping each other be prepared, encouraging one another and praying together about specific situations and people Jesus has placed in our lives, be it the people we meet at the school gates, at work, at our various other clubs or groups, or neighbours.
