Experiencing a Fresh Explosion of Faith
11 week Women’s Bible Study
Sign up by December 6th
Starting January 12th
Believing God examines what it means to believe God rather than only believe in Him. Participants study the lives of Abraham and others from Hebrews 11 as examples of people who believed God. This study parallels a personal journey Beth Moore took in coming to understand what it means to believe God.
Next Weekend…
*Missionary Darrell Wood will be sharing at Saturday Night and Sunday Worship.
*Annual MAPS Shrimp feed fundraiser will take place after Sunday Morning Worship.

YOU Can Be a Life Group Leader
PURPOSE
Build better care-giving into the Church ~ Build better relationships ~ Build leadership in individuals ~ Build the church in New Testament fashion.
PHILOSOPHY
A Life group is a small, supportive community of individuals who meet regularly to both discover and express Christian love, friendship and be nurtured by the Word of God. The nurturing process seeks to enhance pastoral care for individuals, develop their leadership abilities and act as an outreach system.
4 BASIC KINDS OF LIFE GROUPS
1. Nurture / Care groups – One in which the needs of spiritual and emotional growth are addressed. A large portion of the time is given over to Bible Discovery, with special time set aside for listening and caring for individuals. Each group can determine how much time is going to be spent on Bible discovery, sharing & prayer. The Bible Discovery can vary from intense to casual discovery.
2. Support / Healing groups – One in which all the individuals have the same focused need. These groups major on love and listening. God’s Word is shared as the foundation to give encouragement and understanding in dealing with this need. Examples: Single Parents, Divorce care or Alcohol recovery.
3. Ministry Groups – "Real Life Ministry Teams," have the focus is on doing. It is a group of individuals bound together to actively involve themselves in some focused ministry. An example would be the Worship Team.
4. Activity/ Fellowship Groups - These groups are involved in similar activities such as hiking, table games and photography; and incorporate a time of devotion and prayer along with the activity.
In all groups our objective is to express God’s love for one another. In all, we are journeying together as we learn about God, others and ourselves.
YOU can be a Life Group Leader… all you have to do is be yourself…be available for God to use you…include others into your world and share the love of Jesus with them.
