Group focus will be determined. As a group we can focus on who we will support as our acts of service to public or church.

Some suggested activities to get us started include:

• Discuss the weekly questions for reflection given each Sunday by our pastors
• Use the Upper Room small group guidesWe’ll take it from there and see where the group discussions lead us and what topics we wish to pursue further.
We’ll take turns providing food/snacks/treats to be served at our sessions.
Sharing food is a very important and enjoyable part of fellowship!Place:
We will rotate in various homes and/or other locations such as a park, restaurant, or other place that is separate from the church building (of course in a safe, socially-distant way)Contact: Joyce cell: 919-548-7323

What: The formation of our group is to serve 2 purposes:
Social: We expect to have fun, to enjoy each other, and gather in Christian love. Please, we are hopeful to develop lasting friendships with those deciding to join us.
Mission: While having a good time is a genuine priority, we also don’t want to neglect God’s call to share our faith and love. Accordingly, our purpose is to find a need within our county and thrive to make it better. Our group will decide where and how this should be done.When: Our group will gather at 11:00 until 1:00 on every other Thursday. Once establishing our group of at least 8, we will communicate the date of our first gathering.
Where: One of our group will rotationally host and provide a light lunch the first Thursday of each month. The second Thursday we may decide to meet at a restaurant.
Why: “God is not unjust, he will not forget your work and the love you have shown as you have helped his people and continue to help them.” Hebrews 6:10
Susie and I are anxious to get started. Please give us your thoughtful consideration. If you want to have fun with fellow Christians while getting serious about helping those in need, we want you. Susie & I hope to receive your email or phone call today. Please don’t delay.
