First Baptist Church Abundant Life Groups Weekends, January through June 2016 Registration Form They devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Acts 2:42 (NIV) Abundant Life Groups (ALG) are small home fellowships. 7 benefits of small group ministry: Life change happens best in small groups. Small groups make churches personal. Come over to my house is sometimes an easier invitation than "come with me to church. Small groups can provide a sense of family for many who are estranged from their biological families, or their biological families are not available People open up more in small groups. Small groups make it possible for more people to be cared for between Sundays. Small groups make the church more evangelistic and mission minded The small group fellowships will take place in congregants homes who have volunteered to be small group facilitators. The in-home fellowships will consist of no more that 8-10 persons, and will last for approximately 1-½ hours. Refreshments will be provided. Small groups will take place every 3rd weekend, starting January 2016 through June If inter ested in par ticipating, please provide the following information, so we can place you in a small group.
