A Moment With Pastor Fred

9/7/18

Small Groups restart next week!   You ask … 

 Why does HBC have small groups?  While we’re committed to solid theological teaching we recognize a need for the Body to implement the “one another’s” of Scripture. The church must provide healthy accountability as well as godly relationships which spur us on toward love and good deeds.    

When do small groups meet? Small groups meet the first and the third week of the month at different times. 

What goes on when a small group meets?  Our purpose is progressive sanctification – seeking to become more like Christ. A discussion centers on questions concerning the Sunday 

sermon. Prayer will also take place. No doubt socializing will occur, but this isn’t our primary purpose. Meeting time is about an hour and a half. 

What happens with children during small groups? Each small group determines how to handle child care. One can take turns watching children in another room.      

 How many are in a small group? Usually between 8-12. It’s our desire to be cross-generational. The goal is to keep our small groups small and diverse. 

 How do I join? Sign up on the bulletin board across from the restrooms. A list of hosts is posted there
