Fall Quarter 2011 Beginning September 11
New Quarterly Small Groups Are Forming! A Note from Pastor Will I encourage you to join a small group this quarter which begins the week of Sunday, September 11, 2011. Why? I believe that Small Groups are THE on-ramp for newcomers and members alike to grow, to connect with others, and to find their home here at Northwest Church. I believe that spiritual growth flows from a commitment to God and the Bible as well as a commitment to significant Christian relationships. To help develop these relationships, we’re focusing on Small Groups - where people study God’s Word together and discuss the issues and challenges of life. Small groups provide a place for celebration in good times, and support and prayerful concern when life gets hard. I believe it’s God’s desire that every member of our church is involved in the Small Group experience.
