We CONNECT with God and one another in small groups.
To CONNECT at Ankeny First is to be part of a small group centered on Jesus. He is what we have in common. We are transformed in these relationships as we study the Bible and talk about our faith, seeking to understand Jesus better and follow him more closely. Our differences become opportunities to stretch our understanding of God and the world. What we have in common becomes a foundation of trust. These are the connections that clarify the meaning our lives have.
This fall, small groups are doing something BIG!
At Ankeny First, we know the importance of connecting with one another as we grow deeper in faith. The CONNECT step of our method is an essential part of the process that leads to a life of meaning and purpose. Many people are currently involved in small groups at Ankeny First, and we thought it would be fun to bring small groups together for eight weeks, all at the same time, in the same place, for the same purpose: to grow closer in relationship to God and one another.
Will you join us? It will happen on Monday nights at the CLC, September 22 - November 10, at 6:30pm. These nights will function much like a sermon series small group, where you'll have a chance to talk through the discussion questions around a table. We'll dive into the scriptures and themes that correspond with the upcoming series, "Becoming Israel." And when "small groups go big," you'll also have the opportunity to meet new people, enjoy some snacks, and learn from the pastors.
So talk it over with your small group, and make plans to meet them there on Monday nights. Not in a small group? That's ok! This is the perfect opportunity to give it a try! If you've ever wondered what a small group is like, come try it out in a large group setting. We can't wait to welcome you! Make sure to REGISTER and we'll save you a seat!
