| St. Paul's Small Group Ministry
What Small Groups all about...
 Fun -
People do not want to come unless it is fun there are many reasons
to do things but if people are enjoying themselves they are more apt
to return- Fellowship - this
gives all the people a chance in the group to connect. They can connect
with Jesus and with the other members of the group. What a great opportunity
it is to connect with others in a group and have some real friends
in the congregation!
- Faith - This is
listed last for a few reasons. First, we are there because of faith.
It is the all-encompassing thing around the ministry so it is known.
The second is that it is not the most important thing in a group. The
relationship with other Christian and with Jesus is the most important
item in a group and with this, the faith is there.
Why people need to be involved in small groups...
- All of our Boards and Committees are small groups
- Groups also give you a place to serve and put your
faith into practice
- Groups give you a chance to connect with people in
the church
- Groups give you a chance to develop relationships
with Jesus and others in the church
- St. Paul’s is focused on getting people connected
in the church and this is a way to be connected with and to the church.
How to Get Connected with a Small Group
Small groups are designed to meet the spiritual and social needs of
our members as well as the community. Groups meet regularly at a variety
of times for fellowship, Bible study and fun. New groups start periodically
throughout the year to help meet the needs of the congregation. Contact
the Church Office (815/932-0312) and ask for Becky Hagge. Becky will
provide you with information on topics, times and so forth. You may also
email
Becky for information.
