Life Centres and Interest Groups Life Centres are groups that meet in different locations to study the bible. Life Centres are a platform for spiritual growth, they follow a structured bible study plan created to help members read through the bible in one year and discuss how the Word of God can be practically applied in their lives. Interests Groups are built around common interests and like Life centres, they offer the opportunity to build relationships, and members learn and grow together as they interact with one another based on shared hobbies or interests. If you would like to join a Life Group, contact Tayo Sekoni in the church office 020 8438 8285, send an e-mail to lifegroups@jesushouse.org.uk OR visit www.jesushouse. org.uk/life-groups

Counselling at Jesus House Jesus House provides a confidential counselling service with an aim to support anyone dealing with difficult situations or circumstances. We are aware that many people go through challenging experiences and sometimes all they need is someone to offer a listening ear, a shoulder to lean on, or someone to help bring the wisdom of God into the situation. The team of qualified and experienced counsellors will help to do just that in Jesus House. If you would like to speak with someone please contact the church office (020 8438 8285) and ask for a counsellor, or email info@jesushouse.org.uk

WHAT ABOUT PRAYER? Here at Jesus House we believe everyone should be involved in prayer. Prayer is a two way communication with God, it is an avenue through which we talk to God and listen for his voice. Prayer should be from the heart, free and in your own words.

At Jesus House, there are many exciting opportunities to get involved in. You don’t need any special skill to get involved you just need a willing heart and a “can do” attitude.

God requires us to have a servant’s heart in everything that we do and there are great rewards to be found in this.
