Winter/Spring 2012: Church-Wide Small Group Study of Experiencing the Resurrection
We believe Small Groups are essential to the survival of the church. In fact, Jesus started Small Groups, when He brought together His twelve disciples! Small groups create bonds and supportive relationships which cannot be obtained by just sitting in the congregation on Sundays.
Our current church-wide small group study is based on Henry Blackaby's Experiencing the Resurrection. In this study we'll learn: "The resurrection is more than just a historical event. It is the foundation of your total freedom and complete victory in Christ. And so, it is an experience that is worthy of your daily celebration. Explore the meaning and purpose of the resurrection and what it means to your daily life, as you grow to know and experience the peace, joy, power and purpose it brings to each believer."
