Small groups...The key to connecting at St. David's
We must not quit meeting together, as some are doing. No, we need to keep on encouraging each other.
This becomes more important as you see the Day getting closer. ~ Hebrews 10:25 (ERV)

What are Small Groups?A key building block of faith for many at St. David’s is participation in a small group. Small Groups offer a regular opportunity to share faith together in an environment of mutual support and nurture friendships of substance. All teams are led by parishioners who volunteer their time and talent to welcome others and guide sharing of selves, prayer, and discussions of how to live our faith in this complex world.

Can you tell me how they work?Small groups meet weekly or bi-weekly. They are made up of women only, men only, mixed, families, etc. Many groups follow a reflection guide (see links below) provided by the church that begins with a moment of silence followed by: a prayer, sharing of a personal high and low for the past week, discussion of a real life issue informed by faith, a Gospel reading, a discussion of its meaning and how it relates to everyday life and then
closing in prayer. |
