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.

The event usually takes place in the Coffee Shop of the Henry Street’s Garden Centre, Arborfield. The idea is simply to provide an opportunity for men, old and young, to get together and share good conversation and fellowship; they are very informal and discussions often, though definitely not exclusively, deal with current newsworthy topics. Specific days and dates are announced at the ECF Sunday morning meeting. If there is any doubt about a date, please feel free to contact me, Gordon Higgins. Customarily, I buy the coffee (or tea)!
