Living Generously Small Groups In Full Swing

[Small groups meeting together last night at our Crossroads facility to view the 1st week video of Living Generously. The groups then met separately to continue their discussions and time of prayer.]

Our Living Generously church-wide focus began this past Sunday (September 28.) Some of our Living Generously small groups met last evening (see above picture) as part of our Wednesday Fellowship program at our Crossroads facility. The groups met together for the first few minutes to watch the video for the first week of the series. After the video, we broke into our smaller groups for further discussion and prayer.

Other small groups are meeting at other times during the week and our adult Sunday School classes are also focusing on the Living Generously theme during these five weeks. Small group participants books are available along with a video presentation based on the previous Sunday's theme.

It's also prompting people to think how God is calling us to be a blessing to others by living generously.

We are already hearing people share how this Living Generously series is helping them see signs of God's generosity throughout our day to day living. It's also prompting people to think how God is calling us to be a blessing to others by living generously.

If you would like to become part of a Living Generously small group, there's still time to sign up. Contact our Discipleship Director, Dan Kemp at dankemp@lancasterfumc.org for more information or you can simply sign up at the information table next to the desk in our church parlor.
