SUNDAY SCHOOL!!!
SUNDAYS!!! 10 AM YOUTH ROOM! (Upstairs in the Christian Enrichment Center room 200) Join us for a discussion-based Sunday School Lesson! No Bible knowledge necessary – Let’s learn together! Bring a friend!
SMALL GROUP for HIGH SCHOOL & MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS!
SMALL GROUPS MEET on the second floor of the CEC
(6 – 7 PM)
These small groups are designed to be different than our Sunday Night Programs. Instead of events, service, activities or discussing issues, “Small Group” meets simply to share about how your week is going and to have a few people pray for you and your life. You will in turn get to pray for others and hear about their week as well.
WHAT DO WE DO? You are asked to share your answers to 3 questions: What was the HIGH POINT of your week? What was the LOW POINT of your week? Where did you SEE GOD during the week?
HOW DO I JOIN A SMALL GROUP? Its pretty simple, but it is very meaningful to those who attend and you have an open invitation to JUST SHOW UP and we will guide you to find the perfect fit for you in a small group! Currently, we have a SMALL GROUP for MIDDLE SCHOOLERS and a SMALL GROUP for HIGH SCHOOLERS (although we are planning to make 2 HIGH SCHOOL GROUPS VERY SOON)
Contact Rodney (336) 906-3036 if you have any questions! Hope to see you there!
