WINTER / SPRING COMMUNITY GROUPS 2009 Welcome! | How do they work ? | Group Essentials   Community Groups – WELCOME! Community Groups are the place where the seeds of the Sunday message take root and become real. It is the place where we build relationships with one another. As well, it is within the groups within our neighborhoods that we can participate in the work that God has called us to as a church. Our groups are an opportunity to love and bless Mississauga in unique ways. How do they work ? A community group is a gathering of people from the church that get together weekly in a host¢s living room to share life and support one another. Life is hard. It was never meant to be lived in isolation. If you are new to the church this is the perfect place for you to belong, ask questions, and wrestle with your faith in a community of people... In Community Groups, people talk through life issues, eat together, pray together, laugh together, struggle together, and serve others as we are transformed by the grace of God in our lives. Group Essentials Meet weekly in the home of a host (follows the school calendar) for fun, fellowship and discussion. Groups meet for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. The Sunday message provides the foundation for the discussion. Groups explore ways to serve the community in occasional service projects. Many of the community groups accommodate young children.   To Join a group email: edmund@churchillmeadows.org.
