SMALL GROUPS

This year parishioners are encouraged to make joining a small group part of their Lenten discipline. Small groups are a great way to build close relationshipos in an increasingly larger parish. Groups get together once a week to get to know each other, share their lives, discuss, study, question, pray together, encourage one another and offer support through good times and bad. The bonds that form and the growth that comes are so important that followers of Jesus have been meeting together this way since the earliest days of the church. A variety of groups will be offered, meeting at various times and focused on various themes.
