Three Paradigms for Small Groups

So, what is a small group? Glad you asked. A smal group is a:

  • Party when life is great. Your small group should be a place where you celebrate each other's victories.
  • Shelter when life's not so great. Your small group should be a place where you can cry with each other over life's defeats.
  • Guardrail when you're tempted. Your small group should be able to say, "Hey, you're about to go off that cliff! Stop."

Do small groups always live up to theri potential? No, but when they work--there's nothing like 'em!

A plug for our Men's group on Sunday evenings. Just a good time to get together with men to hang together, talk about our victories and challenges, pray and receive some good input into our lives from the Word of God and from each other. Come and join us!
