FBC Small Groups – The Fruitful Life | Sign Up Today!
Today we are launching new small groups to meet in homes on Sundays. These groups are for all adults who attend FBC including newcomers. Groups will start meeting on Sept. 28 either at 3:00 PM or 6:00 PM. They will meet 11 times, every other week but only once a month in Nov. & Dec. Dates: Sept. 28, Oct. 12 & 26, Nov. 9, Dec. 7, Jan. 11 & 25, Feb. 8 & 22, and March 8 & 22. Grab a bookmark at the signup table for the schedule. Parents will need to make their own arrangements for child-care. You may want to pick a group that is close to your home. Pay attention to the meeting time. Group size is limited so sign up soon!
Small groups are designed to meet for about 1 hour 15 minutes starting with a time of fellowship and prayer. Groups this year will read and discuss the book The Fruitful Life by Jerry Bridges. This book is about spiritual growth and the fruits of the Spirit. Books are available for purchase at the Welcome Center for $10. Please pay before you take a book. Online payment is available.
We would like to see as many people as possible will be a part of one of these small groups! We trust they will again be a excellent time of fellowship and spiritual nourishment. If you are newer to the church and would like help finding a good group please contact the office.
