Sunday Morning Small Group
SUNDAY NIGHT SERIES
Established: Living Like the Early Church
Sundays from 6-8pm
September 13 – November 15
Students from 6-12 grade will find meaning in this small-group based study as we work our way through key passages that establish the foundation of our faith and teach us how to live it out today. Each week will feature fellowship through snacks and games followed by worship, a brief lesson and small group discussion. While we encourage students to sign up in advance and commit to attending as many sessions as possible so that we can create a small group structure, new participants are always welcome!
