Real-Ationships

I just had our second meeting with our Small Group leadership team and I am “fired up” about this ministry that will be launching in April!  You might be curious why we need to get together for small groups outside of a service on Sunday.  Here’s what Scripture says…

We loved you so much that we shared with you not only God’s Good News but our own lives, too. 1 Thessalonians 2:8 NLT

Did you catch that?  Because, as the Apostle Paul says… we don’t just want to share the Gospel… we want to share our lives-  Real relationships matter!   The people you share your time with will determine the direction and quality of your story.

Our Small Groups will be…

A place to be REAL.  In life, the struggle is real.  And our small groups will be a place that reminds you that you are not alone and that there are others dealing with the same or similar struggles.  It’s a place that allows us to be real with one another.

A place to BELONG.  Church on Sundays is amazing.  Worship is on point and hopefully the preacher isn’t half bad. 😊  But in a small group you get to connect even more and create lasting relationships that go beyond an hour a week. 

A place to GROW.  Small groups will allow us to not only look more into God’s Word together, but to look into our own lives and reflect on how we can apply God’s Word in our context.  Small groups will help us to use our life experiences to minister to each other and grow in relationship with God and each other. 
 
Our first session of Small Groups will begin the week after Easter and will last for 4 weeks.  If you love it (and I believe that you will), you can stick around for session 2 that will begin at the end of session 1.  If not, that’s it.  No pressure!

Pray about joining me for our Small Groups beginning April 22nd.  You’ll be glad you did!   
 
Also, there are 2 other great ways to take a next step with Renew Church.  This Sunday, after the 10:30am service, we will be hosting a Baptism Orientation Class for anyone that would like to learn more about Baptism. 

Then, at 6:30pm we will have an “Interest Gathering” at our office location to share our Mission and Vision for Renew Church.  This is part of our Growth Track and we would love for you to join us to learn more about being part of the “Renew Crew”.

See you Sunday!

P.S.  Don’t miss the final week of “Your Story” this Sunday at 10:30am.  In this message, I will be sharing about a part of our lives that we sometimes leave out and we miss the blessing that God has in “Your Story”.
