We all want to be strong in our families, relationships, character and unless we're in the process of being spiritually strengthened, we'll be unprepared for the hard times and unable to experience the fullest joys of what God has in store for us. This spiritual strength comes not from our religious efforts towards God, but from the time we spend in relationship with God. Thankfully, we can look to Jesus as the best example of how to incorporate rhythms and practices that will help us encounter God and produce real strength in us.

June/July Small Group News
Epiphany Small Groups...connecting with God and one another.
HEAD, HAND & HEART
Head: Exploring God’s Word
Hand: Doing God’s Work
Heart: Growing Closer to God & One Another
Parameters for Epiphany Small Groups:
Small Groups will meet weekly on a semester basis with a break between semesters. This gives leaders a break and also allows for group members to easily move in and out of groups.
Summer Semester: June 5 - July 30
Fall Semester: September 25 - November 19
While all small groups will have a primary focus of head, hand or heart, all three components should be included in each small group.
There will be an online survey at the end of each semester for group members to give feedback about their experiences and to help us plan for future semesters.
Leaders will also be asked to complete an online form early in each semester to let us know who is in your group, what you are studying, etc.
Types of small groups:
1. Study
2. Mission / Ministry
3. Support
4. Accountability
….or anything anyone can dream!
