Hello church, I wanted to take some time to clarify what is happening on Wednesday nights and how to sign up.
Here’s how this will work:
In place of small groups meeting in homes, we are going to gather at the church on Wednesday nights this fall, 6:30pm-8pm, starting on September 11.
We will meet in two blocks; the first block will be September 11 - October 9 (5 Wednesdays). We will then have a different kind of gathering on Wednesday, October 16, followed by another block, October 23-November 20 (5 Wednesdays).
We will then break for the holidays as we have the past two years.
We plan to start again with another block in early January.
On Wednesdays, we will be offering a number of different equipping opportunities for our church based on what we think is pertinent and needed in this season of church life. For example, in this first block we are offering a study in the book of Galatians based on feedback and desire for a more traditional bible study, and we are offering a group based on rhythms of the household due to the growing number of families in our congregation.
We have a third equipping opportunity, currently called Kids Community. This is not just childcare; this is a proactive, intentional engagement opportunity for growing our kids and for making disciples of all ages. We need our church to see this as the opportunity that it is to pour into the next generation once a week, and we need participation here in order to make the whole thing work. By signing up to serve in Kids Community, you are committing to a whole block (5 weeks) of service in this area. If you are a church member signing up for one of the other equipping opportunities for this block, know that you will be asked in the future to participate in Kids Community.
Once this block is over, we will have another type of gathering on October 16, where we will offer signups for the next block, starting on October 23. Kids Community will be offered in block number two, but the other two equipping opportunities will be new and different.

To sign up, here is all you need to do:
- Select which opportunity you will be participating in (Galatians, Habits of the Household, or serving in Kids Community).
- If you have kids who will be participating in Kids Community on Wednesday nights please note that in the registration. You do not need to separately register children FOR Kids Community.
- Spread the word and commit to attending on Wednesday nights!
