The John Group 2026

Light of the World

Starting May 2026 — 'Early' and 'Later' group

​In 2026, the John Group will be contemplating John’s Gospel, chapter 8.

“I am the light of the world;
the one who follows me will not walk in darkness,
but will have the light of life.”
John 8:12

Within the setting of the Jewish feast of Tabernacles, John 8 continues to reveal more about the identity of Christ and the increasing challenges encountered in reaction to these revelations.

In John 8, Christ tells us he is the light of the world. What does this speak to within us about our emergent I AMness?

Two groups are offered. Both online small-groups will meet monthly via Zoom video conferencing, usually on the second Monday of each group, May to October. There will be an ‘early’ group and a ‘later’ group. The fee is $210 payable at the commencement the group, or six monthly instalments of $35 each.​

Both new and continuing participants are welcome.​
