Group - Branches
Branches groups began as an offshoot of the Roots class, taught by our ministers. Branches groups, which meet monthly for two hours, average 10-12 members and are led by laypersons. They provide a way for newcomers to form deeper relationships and to feel a sense of belonging. But Branches groups have also helped long-time church members to experience the structure in which members minister to one another. Personal growth, spiritual exploration and deep relationships have resulted.
BRANCHES IS NOT:
* A focus group
* A therapy group
* Just a social group
* Religious education group
BRANCHES IS:
* Developing right relations
* Growing spiritually
* Ministering to one another
* Building community
* Participating in service opportunities in the church
There is no heavy homework; the subject matter is the members' lives. No one is forced to share beyond his/her comfort level. If you would like to participate in this rewarding program, sign up on Sunday morning or contact Suzanne Besse suzanne.besse@aol.com .
