"The Net" is one of Barclay’s house groups made up of approximately 25 members of the congregation in their 20s-40s. 

We meet every Thursday (7.30 – 9.45pm) in a different member’s home and have a programme of bible studies, worship and social events.  On our bible study evenings, we split into groups of 6 to 8 people, with different members of our group leading the studies.  We use study guides to help us focus our discussions, and throughout the year our programme covers courses varying from practical Christianity to biblical ‘book and character’ studies to help and equip us in our daily lives.  The evening concludes with a time of small group prayer (groups of 2 to 4 people), where members can share prayer points and by doing so, build relationships and gain support through each other.    

Every 6 weeks we hold a prayer and praise evening where there is a focus on local and worldwide issues.  In particular we pray for the Church of Scotland’s and Christian Aid’s work with the HIV/AIDS Project in Africa and The Vine Trust’s work with street children in Peru, and their healthcare provision to remote Amazonian communities.    

An important part of The Net is to encourage friendships and so various social events are part of our regular programme, including 2 weekends away each year.  Members of the group are encouraged to bring friends along to these events, and new people are welcome to join us for any of our social and study evenings.

Members of The Net attend both morning and evening services, and if you are interested in joining or receiving further information about our programme please ask to speak to Katy, Alison or any other member of The Net.  Alternatively please email us.

We aim to deepen our knowledge, understanding and love of God and to enjoy deep, encouraging and supportive friendships with each other so that we will be equipped to do God’s will and share God’s love.
