Communities for Christ
This year, we are encouraging you to form small groups within your neighborhoods that we are calling "Communities for Christ." We are called to love our neighbors and to be "salt and light" in the communities where God has placed us. It would be great to care for our neighborhoods together as God leads...
If you are interested in leading a small group in your neighborhood, why not invite some people who live on your street to join you!
Of course, as usual any type of groups are fine. If you wish to join together in other places, just follow where God leads.
By Ray Vander Laan
For Lent this year, groups are encouraged to use the the 6-week study entitled Faith Lessons on the Early Church, to see how you can engage our own culture with the Gospel. "Filmed on location in Israel and Turkey, Faith Lessons is an in-depth video tour of the buried, distant or otherwise forgotten places where the stories of the Bible actually happened. From this cultural perspective, teacher and historian Ray Vander Laan challenges long-held Western assumptions about even the most well-known Scripture passages. The fifth Faith Lessons volume transports you to locations in Israel and Turkey from which the early Christian church, on fire with the message of Jesus, literally changed the world.
