Community groups are created to give people exploring faith a safe place to make friends, serve the community, and have fun. Each meeting includes dinner. Before the discussions, the topic is briefly introduced with a personal illustration or story. Sometimes we use a game that may or may not be related to the topic. Then we break up into small discussion groups.
We met for two semesters. Once during the course of the group, we go on a retreat to have fun, enjoy new experiences, but principally to learn about, discuss, and experience the Holy Spirit together.
Here are the topics in the order we introduced them.
