Discipleship Groups at McQuiston
Spring 2018
Discipleship Groups at McQuiston meet every two weeks to study God's Word at a variety of
venues to suit all members of our congregation.
You are welcome to come along to any of the groups to have a taste of what happens and what we do.
We have an 'early morning group' that meet every 2nd Tuesday at 7am, a group that meets every 2nd Wednesday in the Church at 7.30pm, and then 3 'house' groups that meet fortnightly at 7.30pm in different areas of East Belfast.
They each provide opportunities to 'Go Deeper' in your Christian Walk, and to share life with other Christians.
This session we will be following the Essentials course which is a brand new resource to help followers of Jesus reflect on and live out the essentials of discipleship, This is a practical Discipleship Resource that has been developed specifically for the context of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, drawing on a wide collection of voices, insights, teaching and testimonies from right across our denomination.
THE ESSENTIALS JOURNEYSESSION 1: COME / John 1:35-51
Discipleship starts with awareness of Jesus before activity for Him.
