What is a community group?
A group of people who make a commitment to meet together, get to know one another, care for each other, and generally help each other out in living the lives God has called them to.

What happens at a community group meeting?
It is often a mixture of hanging out, eating, discussing a Bible passage/topic, and prayer. Groups vary. One group may emphasize one or more of these things a little more than another group.

Why should I be a part of one?
Because making a habit of being in relationship with people who will help you, and making a commitment to be in relationship with people whom you will help are both good for you.

How long does a group last?
For this semester, they will start in September and meet until around Thanksgiving. You would not be making a life-long commitment. It's just for three months. However, if you end up liking your group, you can always continue the friendships and maybe even sign up for the same group or a similar group next time around.

I was involved last spring. Can I be in the same group again? Can I go to a different group this time?
Yes and yes. You can sign up for the same group again (if it still exists) or you may choose to be a part of a different one this time. If you'd like to continue what you were doing back during the spring and it is available, that is fine. If you'd like to try a new group, maybe to get to know even more people from Good News, or perhaps because a different day and time would be better for you, that is fine too!
