Small Group Connection

"As Berean grows
larger, we must grow smaller at the same time. We need to be
connected to each other. We are a family. We're brothers and
sisters in Christ."
Pastor Craig |
Are
you interested in being connected in a Small Group? We have
several groups with openings that would be glad to welcome you
in January. Most groups meet on the 2nd and 4th Sunday evenings
of the month. Now is a good time to get started with a new
curriculum from Purpose Driven Ministries called “Beginning Life
Together.” Please fill out a green card or call Pastor Craig or
Sonya at the church office (756-3300) if you would like to join
a Small Group.
KEY VERSE: "So continuing daily with one accord in
the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate
their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God
and having favor with all the people." Acts 2:46, 47
Why should you join a small group?
Here are four of the most important benefits of small groups:
- Friendship- You experience fellowship, community and a
sense of family. (I John 1:7)
- Acceptance and Encouragement- You have some people who
really care about you. (Galatians 6:2)
- Prayer Support- You are prayed for during and between
meetings. (I Timothy 2:1)
- Accountability- You have a "safe" place to
talk about our struggles in the Christian life and someone to
hold you accountable. (Proverbs 27:17)
"The average church member knows sixty-seven people in the
congregation, whether the church has 200 or 2,000 attending. A
member does not have to know everyone in the church in order to
feel like it's their church, but he or she does have to know
someone."
Rick Warren- The Purpose-Driven Church
We have Small groups that meet once a week or every other week
for worship, fellowship, discipleship and ministry. We also have
groups that meet at the church throughout the week. Call
756-3300 to get "Connected" today!
Current Activities
Have you observed communion together yet? Let me suggest that
you consider making this a part of your group at least twice a
year.
Remember: Small groups should fulfill all 5 purposes of the
church: Worship, Fellowship, Discipleship, Evangelism and
Ministry. How is your group doing?
