If you’ve tried to read the Bible consistently and kept falling off — this is not a guilt trip.

It’s actually why cohorts exist.

Doing it alongside other women, with a simple framework and a live session each week to anchor you, makes a difference. Not because you suddenly become a different person. But because you’re not relying on willpower alone.

Psalm 119 for Summer runs July and August. 2-3 stanzas a week — deliberately slow, deliberately sustainable.

You don’t have to have a perfect track record to join. You just have to want to try again.

Head to https://app.heartbeat.chat/growandgo/p/page-504e8d97 for all the deeds.

Debt: The hidden crisis in our community

Spiralling debt is becoming even harder to repay. But we don't just look at the numbers; we look at the person, and there is a way out. When you’re struggling to pay for the basics, it’s not just your bank balance that suffers—it’s your mental and physical wellbeing.

At Haywards Heath Baptist Church, we believe no one should have to live that way. Through our partnership with CAP - Christians Against Poverty UK , we offer practical help to restore joy and resilience to families in our community. Don't face it alone. Find free help near you at capuk.org/help or call 0800 328 0006 to book an appointment with our team based in Haywards Heath.
