TUESDAY MORNING BIBLE STUDY
Bible study alternates with the Prayer group. This is an opportunity to explore the Bible and share our experiences on how it applies to our lives. It is an informal meeting, open to all and ecumenical. Everyone is welcome to join us online each 1st and 3rd Friday of the month – 9:30-11:00
TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER GROUP
Prayer Group meets every 2nd and 4th Tuesday morning at the Traceys’ home in Coinsins, from 09.15 to 10.30. Our prayers are for the world, our church family, those known to us and those who have asked for prayer in confidence. Believing that prayer is at the heart of our church community, we are constantly giving thanks for answered prayer. Silence is important too. Around ten people regularly attend. Between us there is the strictest confidence in the names we mention and we welcome your requests for prayer.
Please contact Peta if you need information or have any prayer requests that will be treated confidentially within the group.
Everyone is welcome to join us online.

LA CÔTE BLOKES' DINNER
We typically number about 12 and share evening dinner together while discussing contemporary issues from a faith perspective. Recent themes have included “Men and Feminism”, “Why we go to Church”, “What does it mean to live a life of Abundance?”. We meet in the Prieuré, a community room adjacent to the Temple in Nyon. With the space to ourselves and home cooking on offer, the Blokes’ Dinners are as popular as ever. All (men) are welcome. Contact David Cooke for details.
This group meets on the third Thursday of every month, 19:30 – 22:00
Girls Gathering
We are pleased to announce the start-up of a new discussion group for women at La Côte. The aim is to meet once a month on a Tuesday evening, so that those who are not available for day-time events can also join in.
This will be an opportunity to share a simple pot-luck meal together, hear a speaker on a particular contemporary issue and discuss informally, as well as to spend time getting to know each other better.
We will gather in the parish rooms of the Nyon Protestant church at 19h30. Please let us know if you would like to join us. Sarah French and Heidi Hawkings.
La Cote Playgroup in Divonne
The La Côte Playgroup is held fortnightly in the Divonne Parish rooms from 9.30-11.30 on Thursdays. We welcome all caregivers with children aged 0-4years who would like to join us. For more information please contact playgroup@lacotechurch.ch
Sunday Lunch Group
Would you like to join us at our Auberge in Coinsins for lunch at 12.00 on the fourth Sunday of each month? We are offered a choice of menus at a reduced price. There are usually 12-15 of us and it’s a great opportunity for a relaxed chat over lunch. Whether you just come once, or on a regular basis, you are most welcome!

SOCIAL ACTION GROUP
The work of the Social Action Group supports our three priorities of worship, community, and outreach.
We do this by aiding local community initiatives that are in line with the spirit of our beliefs. We reach out by providing services that are lacking, that support refugees and members of the local community who are in need.
These are done through organizations in the La Côte region and in our neighboring French communities where some members of our congregation also volunteer.
Connect La Côte
‘Connect La Côte’ is a project aiming to foster community across generations, languages/cultures and beliefs, and help create connection between people and the environment. In particular, we aim to:
– host bilingual French/English events to build community between everyone, irrespective of country of origin
– foster community across generations, particularly for young adults
– create an inclusive, welcoming space where people can have open and honest conversations across boundaries
‘Connect La Côte’ is set up in partnership with La Côte Anglican Church, as a church-adjacent project: connecting people to one another both within and beyond church circles and offering a welcoming space without being a religious organisation ourselves.
