Winter 2018 Life Groups
Beginning The Week of February 11 | Finishing by Palm Sunday
Why join a Life Group?
No matter where we are on our spiritual journey, we benefit from getting plugged into a LIFE Group. God does not want any of His children to face life alone. Your Life Group will help you to build healthy relationships and to put your knowledge into application. You will also have a chance to benefit another person in community outreach.
What are the benefits?
We can’t begin to imagine the value of a life that is spiritually nourished and continually growing, but some of the initial benefits of joining a Life Group are: sharing the joys and burdens of your friends in Christ, experiencing a greater sense of purpose and fulfillment as you serve each other and your community in Christ’s Name, and personally knowing the unexplainable peace that comes with living a life that honors and glorifies the living God.

GOLDEN GIRLS
Where is God when tragedy and suffering strike?
