Community Group Leaders
 Steve and Suzanne Griffiths
Community Group Vision
Our Vision is to be a group that has alpha as a focus. We want people who want to serve and be part of an alpha team to join the group. If you want to be a part of this group then it would be great if you have people in mind that you want to bring on an alpha course.
The group will run in two weeks cycles, one week being an alpha night and the other a group meeting.
Loving God:
Our group loves God by obeying his command to make disciples of all nations.
Loving Each Other:
We will be having lots of socials, and envision that this group will be supportive of each other in everyday lives.
Loving The Lost:
Our heart is to reach out to the lost through running the alpha course,
our group is therefore naturally very outward looking.
Day: Monday
Venue: Steve and Suzanne’s - Harpenden
 Al and Steph Tompson
Community Group Vision
Our Vision is to be a group where you can learn how to host the presence of God. The purpose of our meetings together will be to seek the ‘rest’ of God.
There will be no pressure, so that people can feel free to just come and receive. We will meet every other week allowing the group to fellowship with others in weeks in between.
Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly.
Matthew 11; 28 -30 The Message
Loving God:
"Presence" and "Rest" are the keys. Making Him the focus rather than what needs to be done.
Out of His presence we will find out what to do and how to do it!
Loving Each Other:
We will love and support each other in the group through prayer.
Loving The Lost:
We have a real heart for the lost in Harpenden, and our group aims to be a place
where God shows us the needs of our community and how to reach out to them.
Day: Wednesday
Venue: Al and Steph’s - Caddington

coming alongside each other and doing life together.

 Warren and Lyn Loubser
Community Group Vision
Our Vision is to be a group of people, who just loves to seek the
presence of God!!
A group who does "Life" together, by including our children, friends and
families on occasional weekends. (for example) we can all meet one
saturday morning for coffee or breakfast at a "child friendly" venue,
encouraging friendship with one another.
A group that will learn together, grow together and just "hang out"
together.
A group that will be challenged to "stepout" of their "comfort zones"
and into their giftings
Loving God:
We will get together to worship our Father, to seek His presence and
allow His Holy Spirit to reveal His heart to us.
Loving Each Other:
Out of relationship, friendship and just hanging out with each other, we
can support each other through prayer and encouragement.
Loving The Lost:
A group who wants to invite and include friends, family and even
neighbours to our "get togethers" - whether it be to just hang out on
the odd saturday morning for breakfast, or a group night, the point is
to include and build relationship with our friends and to live the 2nd
commandment, "Love your neighbour"
Day: Wednesday
Venue: Warren and Lyn's - Redbourn
