During this past year a lot of prayer and preparation has gone into getting
us ready to kickoff West-Ark's Small Group Ministry. And now we're very
close to beginning.
This week our first specialty support group will begin to meet. This Grief
Recovery Support Group will be led by Myra Flippo at her home on Saturday
afternoons. Myra has gone through the facilitator training and we have
purchased some excellent material that she will be using for her curriculum.
I'm confident that this support group will be a great source of help for the
bereaved to talk openly and share their feelings with those that understand
and are willing to listen. If you, or someone you know, could benefit from
this Grief Recovery Group - talk with Myra Flippo for further details.
The kickoff for the rest of our groups will happen the first week in May.
These small groups of 12 will meet weekly in members' homes with the purpose
of bringing us closer to God and to each other. The groups will provide an
excellent outreach tool for us to invite our friends and neighbors as we
introduce them to Jesus. At the same time, they will be a great
organizational structure for us to identify spiritual gifts, develop leaders
and shepherd a large number of members while new Christians are nurtured and
cared for.
For the next two weeks you'll have the opportunity to indicate your interest
in participation by signing the list that can be found in the foyer on the
Education Bulletin Board. During the last week of April, your group
facilitator will call you to let you know when and where your group is
meeting. Questions? See Ron Lenderman, Joe Pistole, or Ted Edwards.
See you in Bible Class!!!
