Our fall 2009 small groups launch this week and run through mid-December.  Our small groups are designed to be a relevant environment where participants can connect in authentic relationships with others, and grow in a life-transforming relationship with Jesus.  They are groups of 15-17 people, and are open to everyone, no matter where they are on their spiritual journey.  We have four fall small groups, and over 50 people signed up for those groups for the fall. 

The mission of Relevant is to spiritually transform people who transform their cultures.  We believe small groups are a key way that people will be spiritually transformed at Relevant.  What we are trying to accomplish through small groups cannot be accomplished without God!!!  No once can transform another person…that is a work of God.  With that being said, I ask that you please call on God with me through prayer for these groups this week…and throughout the semester.  Here is some of my prayer journal entry from this morning.  Will you pray this along with me today…

“Small groups for the fall start this week.  I feel in awe that you have risen up the leaders you have to lead these small groups.  Lord, I pray for the leaders: Rodger and Charlene Peck, Scott Ruane, Amanda Stark, and myself.  Bless us as leaders.  Work through us to lead people to you.  I pray that over the next 12 weeks that the people in these small groups connect in authentic relationships with others, and are spiritually transformed.  Lord, let this be a divine endeavor.  I pray that these small groups are Kingdom Building and not just a program”

Thank you for praying along with me.
