Small Groups
From the beginning of the New Testament church, there has been an emphasis on believers ministering to each other through intimate relationships. The first Christians gathered at the temple and in each other’s homes (Acts 2:46). At the temple they worshiped together and listened to the Apostles’ teaching. In their homes they ate together and ministered to each other’s needs. The relationships they built in their home meetings provided accountability and encouragement and support in their church community.
That is what our Small Groups are designed to do in our church community. We will start our Small Groups Sunday, Sept. 15. We will keep the same groups that we had last year. Your group leaders will be contacting you with more details.
We are going to use a study entitled, What’s So Amazing About Grace? by Philip Yancey. We have all experienced God’s grace through our salvation. Now God wants us to pass on His grace to the world. We will learn together how we can show God’s love for the undeserving to people around us who desperately need to know what’s so amazing about grace. Please make it a priority to faithfully attend your group.
