Group Encounter is a group of individuals who have come together to introduce the church to possible small group activities, as well as to solicit their input on the kinds of groups they would like to participate in. The purpose of a small group is to build deeper relationships in Christian community based on personal interests and gifts.
Over the next nine months we plan on meeting monthly to explore new ideas and to come up with a structure for how a small group ministry might work at FCC. Each month will be something different in the hopes that in the future a small group could form around that idea. Some months will be adults only while others will be family-friendly, or a sitter will be provided. Below is a tentative schedule for the next few months.
- Late August: Service Project – Making school kits (family friendly) – Hosted by Angie O
- September: Meeting at the Martin & Nancy’s home followed by dinner in Over-the-Rhine (adults only). Hosted by Martin and Nancy S
- October: Bible topics and their relevancy to today with potluck dinner at Neil & Tracy’s home (sitting provided, if needed) – Hosted by Neil and Tracy S
- Early November: Campfire. Hosted by Dave and Linda L
