Aim To Connect
Our new Connect Groups aren’t really new anymore. We’ve just finished the series called Aim To Connect (did you know it was called that?) looking at each of the four aims for Connect Groups. If you missed those or wanted a refresher on what we looked at together, you can see all the study notes here. […]
“What Would It Look Like…”
Sometimes when thinking about what our Connect Groups could be like, especially with our fourth aim of ‘reaching the lost together’, it’s helpful to get some insight into how other people do it. That’s why I found this video so useful. Over the last few years I’ve really appreciated following what’s happening at Soma Communities […]

It’s a great way to kick off the new groups by laying out from the start how we’ll approach the Bible. And there’s a lot at stake. Over at the Proclamation Trust’s blog, there’s a quote […]
Church Is A One Another Thing

An important job had to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it […]
Shallow Small Groups
At yesterday’s launch night for Connect Groups, we said it was helpful to know what we aren’t as well as what we are wanting to do with Connect Groups. To help us with that and, let’s face it, just because it’s funny, we showed this video as the anti-launch of anti-groups. You might call them Disconnect Groups. […]
