In a church the size of Christ Church, it is all too easy for our relationships with our fellow churchgoers to be rather superficial rather than possessing the life changing significance that they are meant to possess. Much of the solution here is found in establishing really effective smaller groups which can then provide the setting for authentic Christian relationships to be established and grow. During September we will be seeking to establish a number of new small groups for members of Christ Church to take their place alongside those groups that already exist. Alongside input from those who already belong to such groups, our sermons in September will seek to unpack further why belonging to such a small group of Christians carries such value. After considering the importance of such groups for our children and young people, we will then focus upon their importance for adults. In successive weeks we will consider their value in enabling us to pray together, read and discuss the Bible together, support one another and have fun and fellowship together. The hope is that this series will lead to the reinvigoration of our small groups at Christ Church and the far more effective care and growth of our many members.
