Winter Small Groups 2010
ESSENTIAL SMALL GROUPS
Jesus established the Church to help us live out the most essential thing: Love God & Love Others
At Essential Church we live this out in four different relationships. We worship together helping us to love God. We gather in small groups, doing life together in authentic community. We love others as we share life, and care for them inside and outside of the church. We love ourselves enough to live a holy life, putting into practice what we find in God’s Word – the Bible.
There are two ways you can sign up for an ESSENTIAL SMALL GROUP:
1).Next Sunday February 7 sign up at the table in the foyer. Ask all your questions, and sign up for a group that fits!
2).Find a group that fits you. Next, send an email to Pastor Rick and let him know which group you would like to register for. rick@essentialchurch.tv or contact the group leader with any questions you might have.
Finally, mark the date on your calendar and you are on your way!
