I am looking to get serious about small groups really soon! In case you’re like “wha…?” I’m basically talking about having our soon-to-be growing class split up into groups of 5-8, and every week meeting at someone in the group’s house to have a time to study Scripture together, and hang out. Worshipping together, eating food, drinking coffee, and doing acts of service, also will be things the groups will be aiming to do. The Bible says this about the very first church in Acts 5:42: “Daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.” Bottom line: This is a way for us to grow deeper in God’s word, closer together, and build accountability. The very first group, (or two) will probably be lead by myself and my wife. Our goal will be to grow the group spiritually, and numerically. Once the small groups begin to get… non-small… we’ll begin splitting them and creating more groups with more leaders. So here’s what I need from you guys!
1) Start getting excited about this opportunity and praying on how you can be involved.
2) I need ALL of you to pray and consider how you can participate.
3) All of us (myself included) need to beginning reaching out and bringing people into our C&C family. I will shortly be providing you with resources for doing this without wanting to throw-up!

Just a thought--there's enough of us in the Chicagoland area that we could do a monthly Bible study if we had some direction and guidance from back home. Not only do I have friends from Edgewood, but Christian friends from a lot of places in the city that are feeling a lack of community in the second city. It would take a lot of work, but I'd be more than willing to get involved in something that would keep me in touch with my Christian friends from home.
