Oppurtunities to Gather
for
Friendship, fellowship,
prayer & study

And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” Hebrews 10:24-25

Outside of Worship, we have some wonderful opportunities to gather together for a variety of reasons to be brothers and sisters in Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 tells us “Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, as indeed you are doing.” Take the opportunity to gather together. If nothing fits your schedule or desires, then start a group which does – who knows who might join you……….

  • Lord Teach us to Pray    Led by Sandy Escontrias
    Most of us are able to recite the Lord’s Prayer but do we recognize the power contained therein? The disciples were able to recognize the power of prayer as they saw the Lord at prayer and asked that they be taught to pray in this manner.  The prayer that Jesus taught in not only a prayer to recite, it is a pattern for prayer that is powerful and effective. It provides us with an orientation that assures that prayer is heard and answered. The small group will study the Lord’s Prayer as Relationship, Worship, Citizenship, Partnership, Stewardship, Fellowship, Discipleship, and Benediction. These 10 weeks will change the way you pray!

5:30 pm    Halftime Small Group    Location : Various

6:55–9:00 pm (Externally  run Men's Bible Study)    Location : Whole Church Campus

  • Men’s BSF – The Book of ACTS - This Bible Study Fellowship experience is more than a class. It is a daily opportunity to interact with the text of the Bible. Each year for eight years, BSF International classes tackle a different book or section of the Bible during the 30+ weekly sessions.

    During the week leading up to a BSF Class, members are encouraged to work through study questions. When they arrive at their class, members join with their weekly discussion groups for lively conversation based on insights from their daily studies.

    The teaching leader then lectures on the passage, helping class members delve even further into their understanding of the passage. The week's lesson wraps up with notes from the teaching that help enrich the members' understanding and application.

    While this comprehensive study lasts 30+ weeks, it is also designed for you to jump into it at any time.
