Fall 2012 Semester

Connection Groups, Fall 2012
Groups start the last week of September,
and run through the last week in November.


Here’s how they work, generally:
  • Groups run on the semester format: Fall, Winter and Spring
  • Groups are made up of about 12 adults + children
  • Groups typically meet for 1.5 hours each gathering
  • The standard curriculum is a bible study and discussion based around the Sunday worship service
  • Groups are built around three guiding values:
  • BELONG- Every meeting starts with a time of just “belonging” together- having a snack, and getting to know one another. The bible calls these kinds of relationships “fellowship”
  • GROW- This happens through a bible study based on the worship service and time to pray for one another and the church
  • SERVE- Groups are to take seriously the needs of one another and their neighbors
  • Groups are also encouraged to schedule some fun time together out side of the meeting, or to plan a group project/event
