BEGINS THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 18 (each group chooses their own day and time)
| What is a small group? 8-10 people made up of all women, all men, mixed, couples, etc. who come together to study, reflect and share in order to enrich their spiritual lives. |
| What is this study about? This six week study is for those parishioners who would like to learn how to be a disciple or to grow as one using a small group process. Into His Likeness is an exploration of how to live as a disciple and experience the transformation Jesus wants to work in our lives. We might desire to live more like Christ, but we know we fall short. This study helps us to intentionally encounter Jesus anew each day and be more disposed to his grace changing us ever more into his likeness. THERE IS NO HOMEWORK! |
How do small groups get formed?
You can form your own small group we designate as a Private Group – You gather some friends and put your group together yourself. You will meet on the days and times YOU choose for your group. This group chooses where they would like to meet as well.
Or we will help you find a group to join a Random Small Group – This group will have a leader in place at signup and that leader will choose the day and time that works for them. You can then sign up for a time and day that works for you with people you may not know. The leader of this group may choose to meet in their home or in a space available at the parish.
When does the group meet and what happens there? The study will meet weekly. Each week you will pray the provided prayer together and then follow a study guide in discussing topics before watching a 30 minute video with Dr. Edward Sri followed by personal discussion/reflection and questions which will lead you to a small group discussion
| What does the Small Group Leader do? *****PLEASE CONSIDER THIS ROLE!***** There is a leader guide that gives anticipated answers to questions and lead ins to discussion to help the group by keeping the conversation grounded to the topic. Feel comfortable with the material. Arrive first and leave last (or wave goodbye from your door!) Provide hospitality if you like or organize the group to do so. Communicate any necessary information to the group Attend the scheduled training session (week of Oct 4 at various times) |
