Get a Grip – Small Group Ministry

August 29th, 2010

“Find balance in your daily life” and join us for this 6 week series called “Get a Grip”. In small groups, as part of the church body, we’ll  connect, share, study, provide love, support, friendship & spiritual strength and build Christian relationships in a safe place.

During this series, we will learn to carry out—and find balance for God’s five purposes for our lives:

Fellowship - Providing opportunities to get to know members of the Holy Comforter Lutheran Church family and providing care for one another.
Discipleship – Growing together in faith and obedience to God through the study of the Bible and prayer.
Evangelism – Praying that God will send  others to be a part of the Small Group and inviting others in faith.
Ministry – Serving others through acts of love and mercy in and through ministries of the Holy Comforter Lutheran Church family
Worship – Inviting the presence of God by worshipping together in Small Groups & encouraging worship with the entire Holy Comforter Lutheran Church family on Sundays.
