Outdoor activities groups near Colwyn Bay, X8

Welcome to the social group for Christians on the Wirral, Liverpool and surrounding areas.

Eat, Pray, Live is a inter-church social group aimed at bringing together local people of all backgrounds, ages and denominations

What makes us different?

We are an inclusive group. So, whether you’re in a couple, single, separated, divorced, widowed or simply looking to widen your social circles, this group is for you.

From our own experience we know there is a bit of a gap locally for Christians who, for whatever reason, are on their own and would like to get out and socialise with like-minded people.

We also have some more "mature" members who are not registered online but will be joining us on some events!  You will also have the option to bring guests to any event by simply "adding a guest" when you RSVP.

Eat, Pray, Live is about you. What do we mean by this? Our group is set up so the organiser will arrange some of the events, however, we are also looking for our members to suggest or set up events themselves.

What do we do?

Lots!

We put together a varied calendar of events, both secular and faith-based, such as outdoor activities, wining and dining, charity events, seminars and anything else the group can think of. We also aim to arrange a mix of low cost and free events where possible.

We know it can be daunting joining a new group, but we’ll always ensure a warm and friendly welcome in a relaxed environment.

Plus, we always remember that our faith doesn’t limit us when it comes to getting out and making the most of life!

What does membership involve?

There’s no pressure to attend events. We are home to a wide range of personalities, tastes and interests. So the choice is yours: simply join in as many or as few events as you want.

So get creative in your suggestions – the sky’s the limit!

We organise local sub-groups for members in outlying areas of Gwynedd and Anglesey who find it hard to travel to the regular central meetings. At the time of writing, there is a sub-group called the Western Anglesey widowed group, for example.
