Semester Small Groups (SSG) are Vineyard Church’s groups of 12 or so people who get together each week for a semester to learn about the Bible, grow, and have fun together. It’s a great way to meet new people while growing in your faith. Ongoing Small Groups (OSG) are groups that have decided to stick together after the semester has ended. You can join one of these groups at any time, however contact the leader before you visit. Common Interest Groups (CIG) are groups like our car group, motorcycle group, softball, firearms, yoga, etc. These groups exist to reach those people that wouldn’t normally come to a weekend service or Bible study. Discipleship Classes are larger groups that typically meet at our North Campus. Heavier in content, these groups seek not only to inform you, but transform you. Support Ministries are groups of various sizes that provide specialized care and encouragement for life’s emotional, spiritual and physical challenges. Women’s Ministries are represented by this logo.

DISCIPLE I BIBLE STUDY Group ID: DC007 Thursdays, 6:30-8:20 p.m Begins September 5, 2013 Location: North Campus DISCIPLE assumes that the bible is the key to renewal in the church. It recognizes the human-divine nature of the Bible: The actual texts of Scripture were written by human beings like ourselves in their cultural settings, under the divine inspiration of God. DISCIPLE affirms that the canon was formed as it is in order for God to speak to us. BECOMING DISCIPLES THROUGH BIBLE STUDY gives equal time to both the Old and New Testament, emphasizing the wholeness of the Bible as the revelation of God. DISCIPLE aims at transformation, not just information, and calls on persons to submit themselves to examination by Scripture, to put themselves under the power of God’s Word, and to be changed by God’s Word. DISCIPLE invites persons to bring their experiences and struggles to the Scripture. All persons know something is amiss with their existence and yearn for the Word from God. This study requires reading large portions of Scripture each week and is based on careful study and preparation. During the course of thirty-three weeks, groups will move through the biblical stories of Creation to the New Jerusalem. The titles of the sessions along with theme words, theme verses, and major persons, events, and topics will set the sequence of the biblical story in the minds of the participants. The principal Scripture for each session follows the chronological movement of the biblical story. Leader: Jim Riegel, 816.854.0905 or jimriegel@kc.rr.com

Vineyard childcare POLICY Children are an important part of our church family; we are committed to providing responsible, nurturing care for children in a safe environment. Childcare may be provided for small groups/classes meeting on campus Monday through Thursday or other pre-arranged days. Childcare is a best-efforts service and is not guaranteed for any event, small group, class, or meeting. Childcare is for ages 3 months-grade 5. All small groups, classes, and ministries (including Vineyard 101, 201 and 301) MUST sign up for childcare services at least two weeks prior to the start date of the small group, class, or meeting and provide names and ages for children needing care. Group leaders will facilitate sign up and any group or ministry communications regarding childcare. Cost for childcare is as follows: Groups meeting for 2 hours: $2 per child per hour with a $10 cap for families with several children. Groups meeting for longer than 2 hours: $2 per child per hour with a $20 cap for families with several children. Children are not allowed to be in a room unsupervised. It is our policy that there always be at least two Vineyard-approved and trained workers in a room caring for children. If you have individuals in your group that would like to be approved and trained for childcare, or need childcare, please contact Amanda Young. Contact: Amanda Young, ayoung@vineyardkcnorth.com
