Small Groups Will Launch September 15!
I am excited to announce that Calvary will launch e small groups the week of September 15, 2008! We believe small groups are key to our experience within the church and the community. We want to meet together for fellowship and also serve the communities around us.
The purpose of these geographic groups is to provide a central meeting place for people depending on where we all live or work. These groups provide a place to walk closely with other people and encounter the Spirit of God freshly blowing through the community.
As we meet, we will encounter God, hear one another’s stories, study Scripture and participate in discussion. Please contact me if you are interested in participating in one of these groups!
Peace to you, Leah
