Lifestyle
Every
Thursday from 7:30pm-9:00pm (approx). Term time only.
Lifestyle is a friendly,
light-hearted, informal evening meeting for ladies. It is not
aimed at any particular age group and a wide range of subjects are
studied to include everyone.
The dictionary says that the
meaning of lifestyle is ‘someone's way of living; the things that a
person or particular group of people usually do.’
So the purpose of Lifestyle at DCF, as a group for ladies of all
ages, is to encourage a way of living that has God at the centre,
which influences everything we do. Everyone of us encounters trials
and tribulations throughout our lives, sometimes of our own doing –
sometimes through circumstances we find ourselves in.
Meeting together as Christians, whether ‘new’ or ‘old’ in our walk
with God, is good for our health both physical and spiritual. Just
making the effort to get to a meeting means exercise, so that can’t
be bad. It’s easy to be reluctant to get up and go to meet with
others but making an effort to attend a meeting can have a
beneficial effect. Our emotional well-being is important to God and
women HAVE been made different to men and so meeting up is good for
us. (So too, for the men). But most important of all is our
spiritual growth. As children, we learnt at home and by going to
Sunday school, so why as children of God shouldn’t we meet together
to continually learn of His plan and purpose; of His unconditional
love for each one of us; and to understand why we need to live a
Godly lifestyle.
One off topics are looked at on some evenings; some issues cover
more than one week and sometimes the study of a particular subject
can take months! All who attend are amazed at how much has been
learnt and yet how much there is still to learn.
The variety of things covered makes Lifestyle a kind of spiritual
aerobics! Some Lifestyle notes will become available in the
forthcoming Topical Studies section of
our web site, however you can also take a look at the
Lifestyle blog which is
updated on a regular basis.
