LIFE GROUPS

Winter LIfe Groups at St. Giles |
The new year is here and so is a new round of Life Groups with it. There's still time to sign up! This Life Group “block” will run through February, and will be followed by another block beginning with Lent.
What are Life Groups? Ask seasoned disciples what helped form their life with Christ, and almost always you’ll hear about a small group of some sort. Life Groups are our plan for such small groups. While God moves in big gatherings too, there’s something about a small circle of Christian friends that really boosts our growth in Christ.
Jesus thought so. He interacted with great multitudes, but he really “did life” with a dozen. And when we do life with a dozen or so we can count on him adding his life to our group! In fact, that’s why we use “Life Groups” as the name for our small groups. There’s a group here at St. Giles for you to do life with!
We launch new rounds of these groups every season, and welcome you to sign on with one of our groups. Here is the list of group times and their leaders. Call the church office, to sign up:

Life Group Focusing on Prophecy - Thursdays, 7 PM
Tom and Judy Roberts are currently hosting a group in their home Thursday evenings at 7:00 now through February. They are following Paul’s direction for us in 1 Corinthians 12:31,14:1: Earnestly pursue spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy. ]
For a couple of years we have sought to do just that as a congregation, to steward the Spirit’s presence and work in ways that expand our readiness to minister in His full power. Prophecy is one spiritual gift which Paul lifts up for just that kind of development. Our goal is simple: to hear the Spirit better, and to grow in our ability to speak what we hear from Him into a ministry situation.
To enable this pursuit, the Prophecy Life Group will:
Please let Tom, Judy or Keith know if you'd like to join in, so they can have workbooks ready and space prepared. Call the church office, 804-282-9763, or contact the Roberts' by email, judyr9604@gmail.com or twroberts9604@yahoo.com.

- be present every possible week
