Hi! If you would like to setup a Bible study but are timid to walk into a church building or be surrounded by a lot of people, we understand. To set up a one-on-one (or a small group if you and a friend or loved one want to talk together), please message us and we can setup a time. We are mainly available on Sunday nights, Monday nights, and Tuesday nights, but we will work around your schedule. Your questions and curiosities matter :) You can also dm me on Instagram (@lydiastodd) to setup a time and place. We live in Haringey area but are willing to travel to meetup with you at a coffee shop closer to you. Just let us know!

**What** A chilled Sunday afternoon for chatting about books, meeting new women, and settling into an easy space. You do not need to have finished the book. Some bring a copy, some don’t. It is relaxed, low-pressure, and you can just come for the company. Women usually range from their 20s to their 60s. Half are brand new most weeks. Most come solo. We make sure you will not feel it. It is friendly and welcoming. **Register for the Event** You must sign up to attend: [thelcommunity.com/events/bookclub](thelcommunity.com/events/bookclub) **Location** Fox & Anchor 115 Charterhouse Street, London EC1M 6AA Closest stations: • Farringdon – 3–4 min walk • Barbican – about 8 min walk **Join the Network** Become a member of our community and gain entry to the WhatsApp group: Become a full member of our community for free.

26 powerful and transformative tales of dark goddess energy, embodying the sensual, the hunter, the warrior, the mother, and even the grotesque and horrific, for those daring enough to explore the shadows of the human psyche. Entrancing and transgressive, this powerful collection of tales dives deep into humanity's collective shadow regarding the feminine, offering lessons from our ancient origins and helping us understand ourselves in today's world. Embrace your own inner darkness alongside these fierce deities and spirits, such as: -The ferocious Indian goddess **Kali,** who teaches not to fear endings but instead use our creativity to remove obstacles and carve out our own path. -The mighty Yoruba orisha **Yemaya**, who birthed the waters of the whole planet, and teaches of the need to nurture and love oneself. \- The ravenous Egyptian goddess **Sekhmet,** who is the very definition of "I am woman, hear me roar!" -The occult Greek goddess **Hecate,** beloved of modern witches, who offers a stunning portrayal of femininity manifesting in magic. And many more!

Join us to network and grab a drink or a meal. We will have a space dedicated for our group. Looking forward to seeing you! This months topic is The high achievers guide to the holidays!

Dive into a meaningful **in-person discussion** at the Literature & Theology Reading Group's next meetup as we explore Gillian Rose's work, 'Love's Work.' Gillian Rose, the Hegelian philosopher and critical theorist was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1993. **In the last years of her life, she produced a work of startling clarity and beauty: a memoir which unflinchingly explores the meaning of pain and love and learning death.** It is a memoir which manages to embrace and also to transcend the personal. **Each session is accompanied by a lecture** from Dr Aidan Cottrell-Boyce, exploring its spiritual and theological significance. Please make sure you have **[sign up for this session](https://londonjesuitcentre.churchsuite.com/events/hrehtcae)** on our online portal.

All are welcome to be a part of this vibrant community dedicated to exploring the intersection of faith and literature!

A relaxed weekly night for drinks, conversation, and meeting other women in real life. Women usually come from their 20s through to their 60s. About half are brand new most weeks and half are returning, so you will not be the only new person. Most women come on their own. It does not feel awkward or cliquey. There is no pressure to drink, talk the whole time, or impress anyone. You can arrive quietly, sit back, chat a bit, or leave early. That is all normal here. If you are nervous, you are not alone. Many women feel that way before their first event and end up staying longer than they expected. *Table booking is under the name Jenny.* **Important** You must register in advance to attend: [thelcommunity.com/events/lesbian-offline-nights](www.thelcommunity.com/events/lesbian-offline-nights) **Staying connected** Registering for an event is separate from becoming a full member. Full members can join the private WhatsApp group and access the wider community. Membership is free and optional.

Hello Everybody! Join us this Saturday at 11 AM at the Fairfax Wegmans as we continue our Bible study and discussions. Recently, we've been studying the "types" (patterns or pictures) of Jesus in the Old Testament in chronological order starting with creation. We will go all the way to David as a type of Jesus the King. As anyone who's attended before knows, we have open discussions. Our goal is always to grow in our love, knowledge, and relationship with Jesus and to have fellowship. We invite the presence of the Holy Spirit as we meet together and we've had some great conversations and revelations. Please join us as we continue our Bible study and prayers. God bless you all, Mihail

Finally, a young adult group that includes ages 25+ This is a brand new small group! We will be studying the sermon on the mount 🤗

"**Besides — laughing together is good for the church — *and* for people who have no interest in the church. Just come. It’s good."** The Emcee is the Pastor of the church who just so happens to be an improv comedian that has performed across the country. Improv is about telling stories - the highs and lows - and learning to see the humor, and maybe you'll even find some faith in the process.

Addiction isn’t limited to substances. It can show up in the everyday things we crave: technology, exercise, social media, work, and even the constant pursuit of achievement. This session explores the roots of addiction and why quick hits from doom scrolling, overworking, technology, or seeking attention never truly satisfy. Together, we’ll discuss what it means to live as our authentic selves in a culture wired for dopamine hits, instant gratification, and the fear of missing out – and how spiritual practices and community can help us reclaim balance and wholeness.
