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. Recently we have been following a book called “Finding the Language of Grace” by Christopher Jamison”
We go away for a weekend away once a year and this year we will be going to East Shallowford Farm on Dartmoor again. 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.
Tuesday Fellowship

There’s opportunity for discussion and sharing ideas. If you think you might want to give it a try – whether or not you are a regular church goer – then we’d be happy to meet you.

FISH (Fellowship In Someones Home)
Fish is a House Group that meets on average every other Wednesday with a mix of social activities and bible study sessions. Bible studies are usually hybrid (zoom & in-person) to accommodate those with childcare responsibilities in the evening. Recently we have had bible studies sessions using Life on the Breadline (Lent Course) and Tree of Life. We have also had some good social events such as picnics, walks, games and a Pancake evening. We look forward to welcoming any new members.
