Group Leader Wins
"We had a woman in our group who came to church for the first time several months ago when Ian had everyone pray over those in our church who were dealing with medical issues. It just so happened that the week before this, she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. She was so impacted by that moment that she decided to make this her church home and joined our small group at the last groups launch. Miraculously, she just shared with our group that she is officially cancer free and loving her life planted in community at the Bridge!"
-Daniel and Emily Allen
A Note From the Groups Team
Hey Group Leaders!
​
I've been taking some time to pray for each of you as you continue to make spaces for community in your homes and around your tables! I know for my Bridge Group, this has been a semester filled with a lot of life change, even in the 8 weeks we have been meeting this semester. My encouragement to all of you as we approach the halfway mark of the semester is just this: keep going! It's easy to fall into routine or let busyness crowd out the priorities of leading your group, but what you do to lead and care for people really matters! So keep encouraging, keep praying, keep going above and beyond for the sake of hospitality, keep checking on your group member and keep pointing people to Jesus! Love you all!

Encouraging Quotes on Community
“There can be no maturity in the spiritual life, no obedience in following Jesus, no wholeness in the Christian life apart from an immersion in and embrace of community. I am not myself by myself. Community, not the highly vaunted individualism of our culture, is the setting in which the Christian life grows.”
