The Waters Church Community Groups

Acts 2:42-47

They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. 44All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. 46Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”

What’s this whole Community Group thing? 

·         Community Groups focus both inwardly and __outwardly__.

o   As we grow larger we need to grow smaller.

o   Love God, Love People and Serve the Community_.

·         Community Groups are open groups.

·         A Community Group has a time, a place and a purpose.

·         Community Groups will fulfill the 5 major purposes of the Waters Church (see back)

What’s it is not….

·         Community Groups are not a gossip session.  What is said in the group stays in the group.

·         Community Groups are not a social club.
