Sermon Series Life Groups
This Fall we are excited to offer our church family something new that comes with a lot of potential for helping people connect and grow. I am, of course, referencing the sermon series life groups that will meet for seven weeks during October and November. We have had a dozen wonderful and generous people offer to host and lead these small groups!
These groups are varied in locations, days, and times. Some groups serve food, some welcome kids, some are for empty nesters, but all of them offer opportunity for more community with discussion, and application of God’s word. The saying, “We learn in rows and grow in circles” is so true when it comes to following Jesus and living out His teachings in our lives and loving those around us.
Consider the following few scriptures in context of smaller groups modeled and instructed for God’s people:
1 Thessalonians 5:11 “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.”
Matthew 18:20 “For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”
Proverbs 27:17 “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”
Acts 2:46-47 “Every day they [Christians] continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.”
1 Thessalonians 2:8 “so we cared for you. Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well.”
Please, prayerfully consider participating in a group for this fall season because you will be blessed and your presence will be such a blessing to others.

We hope you find one that works well for you.
