Lunchtime Life Group: small groups anywhere at anytime

Small Groups Can Meet Anywhere
One of the great things about life groups is that they can happen anytime and anyplace.  They can happen morning, noon, or night, inside and outside of the church building.  In January, I'll be hosting a Lunchtime Life Group that will meet weekly for 6 weeks at lunch time (12:00 noon).  Because food is a "connector," my guests already anticipate that our lunchtime gathering will be a relational experience.  Beyond eating together, we will watch a short video which we will follow up with group discussion and prayer.  All of this will take place within the lunch hour so that our group members can get back to work on time!  Our lunchtime life group is going to take place at the church building, but I could host this type of group almost anywhere:

* at a park
* at a restaurant
* in an office break room

I have found that there are at least five types of people who appreciate lunchtime life groups:

1. Business professionals who make and keep their own workday schedules
2. People who cannot attend evening groups
3. Single people
4. People whose spouses will not attend another group with them
5. People who work evening shifts or who work a second job

The point is, everybody eats lunch!  We might as well eat it together and share our spiritual journey.

If you have never hosted a lunchtime life group I encourage you to give it a "taste test."  If you are interested in joining our Lunchtime Life Group click here and let me know!  Click here to see all of the Life Groups being offered in January through First Assembly Community Ministries.
