Reflections

Reflections is a group of women who gather to enjoy a time of sharing, listening, and thinking about what is going on in our lives, as we reflect on who God is and what He has done. Our hope is to grow in love, grace, and maturity as we explore the Bible, listen to each other’s stories, share our thoughts, and pray together.

This year we are focusing on striving less and recognising how the grace of Jesus has saved us from trying to earn God’s favour or approval. Grace frees us when we freely receive it!

Ruth Chou Simons, a wonderful artist, author, and speaker has recorded a six session study called “When Strivings Cease” – replacing the gospel of self-improvement with the gospel of life transforming grace. We are going to do this study together interspersed with creative and fun sessions.

We hope you will join us for what will be a discovery of the joy of living in the grace of God whilst challenging some of our misconceptions about our part in God’s story.

“Reflections is a fun, safe place for the ladies at Christ Church to meet and discuss subjects that we face in our lives as Christian women in an innovative and interactive way. I find it enlightening, supportive and empowering. It’s also a lovely opportunity to meet up with friends, have fellowship and eat wonderful cake!”
