Ladies@10

Info
Carey Baptist Church, Carey Street, Reading RG1 7JS
Tuesday

Women of all ages and at all stages of life meet on Tuesday mornings between 10 and 11am during term-time. We normally meet in the Chapel building (use the side door and ring the doorbell). A creche is available.

We meet to study the Bible together, discuss issues relevant to the lives of women, pray together and offer practical support to various outreach projects. Having regular fellowship like this helps to deepen relationships and enables us to spur one another on to grow in the Lord and serve Him better in our different situations.
