Small Groups – Fall 2010
Small Groups are the best way to get to know people better and have some fun! In the past, many people have experienced great growth through exploring truth, especially the Truth, with peers and mentors in these groups. We strongly encourage everyone to try them out. If you don’t like one, you are absolutely free to try each one until you find the one that fits.
Small groups meet at the Wesley House (2202 Nueces) unless otherwise mentioned. Contact Greg for more general small group info.
Great Bible Adventure (GBA)
Sundays 7:30-9pm at the Wesley House
First meeting is Monday, September 6 (because of Labor Day); all other meetings on Sundays
Contact Stuart for more info.
Have you ever attempted to read through the Bible and got lost somewhere in Leviticus? Do you have a desire to know and understand what the Bible has to say and its relevance for today’s world? This group is perfect for you!! As a group we’ll be working through the Bible in a year, encouraging one another, praying for one another, and having an altogether phantasmic time. Reading the Bible individually through the week (20-30 minutes per day) sets us all up for great discussion, fellowship, and prayer at our weekly meetings. No previous reading or knowledge of the Bible is necessary. Whether you’ve yet to venture out on a walk of faith or you’re wondering where to go next, Genesis is a great place to start.

“My publisher conducted a website poll, and of the 678 respondents only 23 felt satisfied with the time they were spending in prayer.” – Philip Yancey. Come to learn and explore prayer together. Why do we pray? How do we pray? What is the deal with the gap between prayer’s importance in theory and in practice? We will seek God and satisfaction in Him together through this pursuit in prayer. If you never pray, pray constantly, or anything in between, this will be a place to come seek growth together.
