Small Groups Kickoff

Tonight begins our new semester of small groups. I can't wait to see what God will do thru all our small groups between now and Christmas. Tonight, one of our families groups will meet and we're going to return to Acts 2 to reexamine how the Jerusalem church did life together, how they functioned, and how their city was ultimately impacted with the gospel. Life-change happens best in the context of small groups. In the next 2-3 weeks our small group will "give birth" to a new group which will be forming. This is a monumental step for StoneBridge, because this is the first time one of our groups will be multiplying. If we can successfully multiply a small group, then some day we will be able to successfully mulitply and plant a new church from within our own congregation. I know this will be a real test of leadership for Jason and me, and I'm praying that our people will follow our lead on the journey of multiplication.

Do ya'll have a high school group? We're going to a small group format during the week at calvary, I welcome any pointers.

we don't have one yet because we haven't had any hs students, but we are looking seriously at launching one now with about 5-6 students.
