Connect Groups
Fall 2007 - Winter 2008

Getting to know people in a large church can be intimidating. Being surrounded by believers who worship God freely is an exciting experience, but just attending church services alone won’t fulfill what God has purposed for you.

We need more than that.

We need connect-ions. We need friendly faces that know our name and share in our lives. We are not meant to be alone in the crowd.

As we grow closer to God, we should grow closer to one another as a church family. That’s why, at Abundant Life, we believe that healthy, thriving relationships among believers is essential to experiencing personal fulfillment and spiritual growth. With this in mind, we have created Connect.

Connect groups provide a way for you to meet new people in smaller settings. We get together and enjoy common interests and activities. More importantly, we get to know one another. Three times a year we provide an updated list of group activities that we offer. You can join one of these groups anytime you want-- all are welcome.

If you are interested in meeting new people, Connect is for you. Simply contact the group’s leader to get more information.
