Fellowship Groups

Fellowship groups are at the heart of Methodism and play a key role in church life, particularly in a church as large as the Mint. Small groups of people get together either in each other’s homes or at the church for fellowship, study, prayer and mutual support. Everyone can join a Fellowship Group – there are a wide variety which meet at different times and days in the week.

If you would like to join a group, please see Chris Ware our centre facilitator mid week at the Church or a welcome steward on a Sunday and we’ll find you the best group for you.

Ubi House Group

The Ubi house-group meets fortnightly except during the school holidays. We meet in one another’s houses and everyone is welcome. Our group spans a wide age range and our numbers have recently grown.  We take it in turns to lead the group on varying topics that interest us such as areas of social concern and how our faith relates to these. 

We go away for a weekend away once a year. We also meet together for social evenings. We all lead very busy lives and the
opportunity for conversation and fellowship is very important for us.

Our group starts at 7.30 pm and we end with tea or coffee. If you would like to know more about us or when we’re meeting please see Sue and Peter Cordery or watch out for dates in the notices.
