There are as many theories on how to do small groups as there are churches. Some are connection groups, providing ways for people within a church to get to know others; some are discipleship groups, for serious Bible study; some are seeker groups, trying to connect people just exploring the faith. There are many other models as well. I came across a video that one church posted promoting small groups to their congregation.
What are your thoughts on this video? What kind of small group are you involved in?
Fatherlessness is a story that many can resonate with, and it has devastating consequences for individuals and communities alike. From shame and loneliness, to gangs and teen pregnancy, fatherlessness is a driving force behind many of young people’s greatest struggles.
But it doesn’t have to be that way, we can reach out to the fatherless and be their for them when their own fathers were not, all while pointing them to the Father of us all.
To enter this week’s giveaway comment below with one example of how the Church can come alongside the fatherless.
Also, a bonus entry is a available if you comment a second time letting us know that you shared a link to this giveaway on Facebook, Twitter, or your blog.
