Small Groups / Prayer-Fellowships
Any and all of these groups welcome new members. The leaders would be glad to contact you and give you more information, so please don't hesitate to e-mail. The key distinctive of these groups is that they are places outside of Sunday worship to engage in rich fellowship & focused prayer. Some groups study topics, others simply meet & enjoy each other's company and pray for one another.

Alpha Group
Description:The Alpha Undershepherd group meets the first and third Fridays of each month beginning at 7:30PM, with the meeting location rotating through our members’ homes. Currently our Group has 12 family units, with a good mix of married/single and working/retired folks.
Typically we begin with a study, followed by a time for praise, and prayer. Refreshments are then served as we join with each other in a time of fellowship. Several times during the year we will have picnics, Christmas dinners or meetings that are social in nature.
For the 2008-09 Season we plan to begin a study of the book of James, using a commentary by Dan Doriani as a guide. This book particularly fits our study style which is highly interactive, so that all may join in the discussion. Visitors are always welcome, so check the bulletin for the next meeting location and come and join us.
