Ladies’ Christian Fellowships

Every Month

 

All the Ladies are invited to get together for a great time of fellowship!

Prayer Meeting
on Wednesday evenings,
just before the main Bible Study -
starts at 7pm

All are encouraged to come to pray together as a church. Will YOU come along and seek God’s power for our church and ministries?

This is our main time of prayer as a Church, and we gather and spend an hour learning of people’s needs, and then praying for those needs in small groups! Come, and learn that you can safely lean on the strength of the Lord Jesus Christ!

Following the prayer meeting time, we have a short Tea Break, and then we get down to the Bible Study time. We go through the Bible, verse by verse, and learn so much! Everyone grows as they learn this way!

Discipleship Training

First Principles Discipleship Course

We currently have 16 people involved in getting discipled (learning the Bible), and there is room for more to join in!

If you are interested in learning God's Book, the Bible, please contact Pastor Craig and make an evening available to study, and you will soon have the tools you need to live for the Lord Jesus Christ, who loved, you, and saved you, and wants to use you!

Discipleship - it's more than learning!

Every Saturday afternoon, at 1pm, for about an hour and a half, faithful Christians are presenting the Good News of the Gospel to people throughout the Cork area in order to see souls saved, and our generation reached. Will you help?

The fields are white unto harvest – so who is going to go and reach our generation with the great news of the Gospel if we don’t? Everyone young and old can win a soul if they would just go with a bit of training, and a lot of passion! Come out and start making a difference!
