CHURCHHello Church,
We are excited to share with you the small groups for Fall 2014! There are 32 groups to choose from! They begin on January 12th, but you can join a group at any point, as long as they have room. As a church of small groups, we believe small groups are the heart of our church community.
Each small group typically meets every week for 1-2 hours in someone’s home and spends time studying the Bible, sharing life together, praying for one another, and finding ways to serve our community.
Don’t worry if you’ve never been to a small group before! You won’t be put on the spot and asked to (1) pray our loud, (2) read out loud, or (3) answer theological questions. Everyone is at a di!erent place in their spiritual journey and together we are learning what it looks like to be more like Jesus.
We have small groups that meet throughout the city, and in Maryland and Virginia. We encourage you to find a group that is located near to where you live or work, or that reflects your current life stage or special interest. There are women’s groups, men’s groups, co-ed groups, couples groups and some groups focused on a special interest…so many great groups to choose from!
To join a group or learn more, please contact the leader of the group or contact me and I will do my best to help you find the best group for you.
Blessings,
Amy Graham, Discipleship [email protected]
