We are excited to begin small groups this month. Special thanks to Stephanie and Kyle Bollinger, Susan and George Cusson, Cindy and Leigh Johanneck, and Carol and John Sapienza, who are the small groups’ leaders.
To date, we have 29 people signed up. If you have signed up, you will be getting a call from one of the leaders about the beginning group date and time. If you haven’t signed up yet, you can always do it by letting the pastor know.
They will have six meetings between October 15 and December 15. The initial feedback is very good with a shared excitement for this ministry. Also, thanks to Sandy Johnson for leading the example Small Groups during Sunday School.
A church is the body of Christ found in the unity of Christian believers. We are a church when we meet together and share our faith, our perspectives, our resources and our talents. Small Group ministries enable Christians to increase their biblical understanding, engage others in faith conversation, and pray together as a group. In the small group people come together to share their faith — personal faith, and our community’s faith — this is where our overall church’s faith in Christ is strengthen.
Small groups are the environment that nurtures us in faith. By being surrounded by others, just like us, we can walk a spiritual journey together. Furthermore, we can develop spiritual friendships that will make the journey enjoyable as we hold each other up along the way. We experience what it means to be a community of faith, and not be alone in our faith journey.
