Small Groups [Bible Study-Faith Sharing]
Small groups help build vibrant, joy-filled faith communities. In our Sunday gatherings we celebrate faith, empower ourselves with the presence of Christ in the Eucharist. This celebration invites us to be transformed into Christ-likeness and transform/influence positively family, work place and community by the light and strength we receive from the Eucharist. Small groups explore practical ways to live this Eucharistic calling. Nutritious food is a variety/group of food, same way weekly meetings of small groups nourish and sustain faith in a parish. Just as family is basic to healthy development of children and spouses, small groups support development of healthy, energetic Christians. Energy of each Christian is the strength of church at large! The gospel invitation to all is: Listen to Jesus and follow him. Small group is a place of listening and discernment to stay connected with Christ. The love we profess and talk about is perfected and lived in small groups.
In a community, committees and groups are so important to advance their goals and make a change in society. Similarly, small-groups:
I encourage all of you who can to join a small group or form your own groups for bible study this Lent. Inactive groups, please re-activate your small groups! I thank groups that meet weekly throughout the year. God bless us and keep us in his love!
