In October will begin a new discipleship series called “Longing for Friendship: Daring to Draw Close.” We all need friendships and especially friendships where we can be open and honest; friendships that help us heal and grow to be more like Jesus. We not only believe we can experience this but we have great hope that we can be this to others as well. We want to be a community where everyone looks out for the concerns of others and no one is alone. During this series we will be meeting in small groups, engaging in meaningful opportunities to strengthen our relationships. Many groups continue meeting and new groups will be forming. If you would like to become involved in a Discipleship Group or find out more about them, stop by the table in the commons or contact Patsy Fratanduono.  Groups begin the week of October 3.

Signups: Sundays, September 19 & 26 after each service

Discipleship Group Materials

During the Sunday services for the first three weeks of the series we will present three different books that will be suitable for group discussion. Each group will then choose one of these books for study and discussion, or the discipleship series material “Who AM I?”. We will be looking at some of the issues (both personal and cultural) that can seem to help or hinder us in meeting our deepest needs for relationship. We will spend the series  seeking to draw closer together through learning, conversation and prayer.
