SMALL GROUPS During the months of February and March we invite and encourage the whole congregation to be involved in this congregation-wide small group study. Our kick off will be on Family Night, February 1st. After that each group will meet at a time that best suits the group.
“Secrets of the Vine” In “Secrets of the Vine”, Dr. Bruce Wilkinson explores John 15 to show readers how to make maximum impact for God. Dr. Wilkinson demonstrates how Jesus is the Vine of Life, discusses four levels of “fruit bearing” (doing the good work of God), and reveals three life-changing truths that will lead readers to new joy and effectiveness in His Kingdom. “Secrets of the Vine” opens reader’s eyes to the Lord’s hand in their lives and uncovers surprising insights that will point them to a new path of consequence for God’s glory. Indicate your desire to participate by checking the small group box on the back of the response flap or contact Ray Freed. Sign up to help provide food for Family Night, February 1st.
