Connect Groups
These groups are right at the very heart of CCB life and are a brilliant way to meet others on a regular basis (groups meet either weekly or bi-weekly), worship together, study and apply God’s word and pray for one another. They are places to be real, laugh a lot generally over some sort of food!
Our goal in the groups is to help each other grow in our relationship with God and reach out to others. We generally follow on from the talk on Sunday morning services in the notes we study.
As mentioned above Connect Groups meet mid-week during term time (day time and evenings) and most of the groups are mixed, although we also have some men’s and women’s only groups.
The Worship Playlist that is used in most Connect Groups can be found here and in the YouTube & Spotify links above.
Connect Group Questions
w/c 11th May 2026
· When did the Holy Spirit become real to YOU?
· Read through Acts 1:1-9. What does Jesus say will be the consequence of being baptised by the Holy Spirit?
· Does it surprise you that Jesus himself needed to be filled and empowered by the Holy Spirit? (Luke 4)
· How easy or difficult do you find it to relate to the Holy Spirit – as distinct from God the Father or Jesus? Do you ever talk to him specifically and ask him things or thank him? – and if not, is this something you might like to begin?
· Have you ever thought that being ‘filled with the Spirit’ means surrendering control of our lives to the work of the Holy Spirit and allowing Him to be on the throne?
· In Eph 5:18 Paul urges us to ‘be (continually) filled with the spirit’.
Is this regular prayer of William Pennefather’s (1st vicar of CCB) one that you might consider adopting every day? “Holy Spirit, I have need of you.”
(It might be that there are some in your group who would appreciate being prayed for be filled with the Holy Spirit!)
