K-GROUP LIST: Trimester 2 May 1 through August 1, 2017 Friends, here is the list of K-groups available at Beautiful Savior for the second trimester of 2017. Your pastors would like to strongly encourage you to consider attending one of these groups. They are a vital part of our ministry: They are the way that our church provides opportunity for members to get to know one another better. They are the way we help new members to assimilate, knitting them in to the Beautiful Savior family. They are a way for you to fellowship in the true sense of the word not just sharing a confession of faith, but sharing your life with your fellow Christians. If you plan on attending one of these growth groups, it is important that you contact the facilitator as soon as possible, so that they might plan accordingly. Remember, there are three different types of groups: Growth Groups These focus on studying and discussing Scripture, as well as group prayer. Play Groups These focus on recreational fellowship. Help Groups These focus on serving the church or community in some way. It is also important to act quickly if you see a Growth Group you like. We cap our growth groups at 12 to 14 people. (Help Groups and Play Groups may be larger.) Good discussion does not take place in a Growth Group if it gets too large. May God grant you koinonia true fellowship to you and your group!
