With the promotion of Sunday School, we now turn our attention to the launch of several small groups in October. We are targeting the launch of those small groups for the first week in October and plan for them to run through mid-December.
During the month of August we have been working to enlist small group leaders and to set the catalog of basic discipleship Bible study offering each week. If you are interested in leading a small group or would like to see a small group form out of you current Sunday School class there is still time.
What is required of a small group leader? We ask that a small group leader be willing to meet the following.
- Select the time and place for the study.
- Select the target audience for the study.
- Select the curriculum for the study with in the five approved curriculum lines.
- Attend a mandatory training session that will cover catalog set up, scheduling of resources, attendance, prayer requests, service opportunities, discipleship of new leaders to name a few things.
We want to make sure that each group has a good opportunity to be successful in the discipleship Bible study process.
In September we will be signing up for Sunday School and Small Groups. Everything will be listed in the catalog and we will be encouraging members and attenders to get involved in basic friendship Bible study. We want to encourage all members and attenders to be moving on the path of discipleship – connecting, growing, serving and sharing.
If you not plugged in to a Bible study or a Small Group, I hope you will begin praying about it now. Let God plants some seeds in your heart about making some new friends at FBC and studying God’s word as you grow to be more Christ-like in your life.
