A Small Group Shake-Up
Your ministry to one another in small groups is prospering and growing. Praise God! Growth brings change. And change is hard, even when it’s good. But change we must, for God’s glory and our good.
Announcing Changes to Our Small Groups in Orange and Anaheim
Roger and Alice Servin have been faithfully leading one of our Old Towne Orange small groups for the past couple years. Now, they’re preparing to host and lead one in their home in Anaheim. We’re excited about this for a bunch of reasons. They’re eager to do it and we’re eager to send them to do it. If you’re in Anaheim, we encourage you to join their new group.
Dylan and Christy Sohie will be coming down from North Orange to lead a group in Old Towne.
The other two Orange groups (the Adams and Pickards) are open for new members.
You Need to Pick a Group
If you’re in an Orange small group, we need to hear from you. Whether you’re staying in your current small group or going to a new one, we need to know your plans.
If you’ve been thinking about switching, now is your chance. If you’ve been driving past a small group to get to yours, we ask you to consider joining the group closer to home. If you haven’t yet joined a group, now is the perfect time.
If a group gets too big, we reserve the right to cap it and ask you to join another one.
How Should You Pick a Group?
A few recommendations:
Pray. God is the best guide.
Pick a group close to your home. Geography is our organizing principle. You have the best opportunity to build relationally with people who live nearby.
Consult people your trust. Talk to your current small group leader and your friends at church. Talk to your pastors. Ask for input.
Timeline
Small groups will be discussing this in their next meetings. The deadline to notify the church office of your plans is Friday, March 22nd. Let us know by filling out the form below. The new groups will launch the first week of April.
Thanks for giving your lives to God and to each other.
“By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
-John 13:35
