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 1 DEC 2025
Luke 9v1-17
Read again the story of Jesus both sending out his disciples to do what he did, and then the story of the miraculous feeding of 5000 people. We can learn so much from Jesus through this.
Have you heard any stories of Jesus doing the same thing: multiplying food where there was great need? Share!
A young boy (John 6) gave Jesus his picnic which Jesus used for the miracle,and yet Luke omits to mention the boy. 40% of our churches have no children in them. Do you think this is healthy and what can be done to encourage children to come to Jesus?
Jesus welcomed the crowd even though he had other plans. How can we be a welcoming church? What stops us from welcoming others in?
Jesus didn’t like to see any of the bread going to waste and the disciples probably profited from that! We in the UK throw 10billion tonnes of food away a year! How can we live to value food and not waste it?
Jesus spent all day healing the sick. Have you laid hands and prayed for sick people? Why not pray for any sick people in your group. Would you offer to pray for people outside of the church?
