40 DAYS OF COMMUNITY SMALL GROUPS

Sign up by Sunday March 9th

If you haven’t had the opportunity to sign up for a small group, now is the time.  Each small group will meet once a week for a six week period.  These “better together” sessions will become a very important part of your 40 Days of Community experience as you read and discuss daily devotions from the book, Better Together, written by Pastor Rick Warren.

Hosted by FUM church members there are a variety of small group options that are offered at various days and times throughout the week.  There are also several Sunday morning opportunities to meet with others and share in discussion.  These Sunday morning groups will meet at different times and locations. Sign up sheets for all small group involvement are located on the 40 Days of Community display table in the Narthex.  Each sign up sheet identifies the small group’s host/facilitator, along with the meeting day and time.  Hurry — sign up today!

The book, Better Together, will be distributed to small group members through the group host

prior to the first small group meeting.  A $10 donation for each book is suggested.  The first week’s devotions should be read prior to the first small group meeting the week of March 30.   

Within the small group you will have the opportunity to FELLOWSHIP within the group as well as GROW spiritually within yourself.  Additionally you will SERVE and REACH OUT to the surrounding community through a mission opportunity. 

40 DAYS OF COMMUNITY 

The 40 Days of Community campaign is gearing up for kickoff on March 29^th.  The Planning Team has been busy organizing and preparing for this exciting 6 week campaign.  Small groups and Sunday Worship Services will provide opportunities for us to Fellowship, Grow, and Worship in love with our First Church family.  Mission opportunities will allow us to Serve and Reach Out in love to God’s family.  Community friends and neighbors are invited to join our First Church family in this campaign.  Now is the time for you to get involved and keep the unity in our First Church Community. Together, as the body of Christ, we will be BETTER TOGETHER.
