How to Host a Small Group

Some groups will form spontaneously. They will be the natural collection of friends and/or neighbors who associate with each other from time to time.

You may wish to consult a list of groups that are forming available at the Welcome Center, the church office or contact Bob Gordon. We will help form the small groups. Stay in touch with the Welcome Center in the church Narthex for latest information on small groups. You can join and existing group...or as mentioned below, form your own group.

Better yet, you can form your own group! Just gather some friends or neighbors and agree on when to meet. They do not have to be members of our church, but we can pray that they decide to become a permanant part of our church lives.

Ask yourself, who do I know that should hear the Word of the Lord? You can make it non-threatening, by just inviting friends and neighbors over for an evening of visiting. Of course you will wish to inform them of the purpose, but it will not be a "hard sell", as Christians do not need to do that. We just share the Good News in a Purpose Driven manner.

We also have a web site, where you can email (church@trinityluth.net) your availability to join a group. Here you may specify you wish a certain age group, young singles, or those with young children, older single folks, or any other special needs.

This is such a great way to meet folks...and become a part of a church, in the same manner Jesus did so many years ago...by starting with just Twelve!

As a host, you need simply agree on the ground rules that are suitable to everyone; such as meeting place, times, are refreshments necessary?, and shall it be a "floating" meeting where each week it is in a different location?

Limited church facilities are available for a group, since the church is in use just about every evening for various activities. During the day, there may be rooms available. Check with the church office regarding use of the facilities.
