| | Hello small group peeps!
It's been quite a while since we've
met, hasn't it? Feels like ages! Anyway, we've been pretty terrible
about communicating next steps for our group, so wanted to let everyone
know what was going on.
We're actually just around the corner from the beginning of
our small group term. We're going to have two small groups start
meeting on Friday, October 5th - 24/7 small group, under new
leadership, and a women's small group! Here's some quick detail:
- 24/7 small group - Alex Woo (alex@woohoopictures.com) and John Yasuda (jkyasuda@gmail.com
) are taking over as the new facilitators for 24/7, with a focus on
relevant, topical, foundational Bible studies. The new 24/7 will still
meet on Friday evenings, but location is changing to Yasuda's place in
the Inner Sunset.
- Women's group - Christina Park (christina.parkie@gmail.com) and Caroline Shou (caroline.shou@gmail.com)
will be facilitating a women's group, that's being spun out from what
was previously women's prayer group. They'll also be meeting on
Fridays, currently planned for the Cole Valley area.
Alex and Yasuda have begun reaching out to see if people
would like to serve as part of a formal "core" for 24/7, in helping
with logistics and building the small group. Parkie and Caroline have
been doing the same, with most of their core established. If you'd
like to make a commitment to help build out either of these two groups,
please contact them! I know if can be pretty overwhelming taking on
the responsibility of facilitating a small group and even just a little
help can make a big difference.
What will Jeff and I be up to? Jeff's going to take a break
from facilitating to figure out how he wants to serve longer term and
grow more in his personal walk. I'll likely be starting a third group
later in the year - my travel schedule for Oct will take me out of town
too many weekends to start sooner! There isn't really a co-facilitator
or viable location at this point, so it will likely be a smaller group
focused on the downtown area. A few people have expressed some
interest, so next steps are probably just to start meeting informally
for dinners and such. I'll also continue leading the Saturday morning
prayer meetings, which have been pretty much the highlight of my week!
Definitely come out if you can!
Now that you know what the next steps are for the group,
you're probably wondering how you should respond. For the women, it's
probably a tougher decision in having to choose between the co-ed
groups and a women's group. For all of us, I don't think there's
really a bad decision here. Ultimately, it's about prayerfully seeking
out opportunities to grow in your personal relationship with God. So make your decision and commitments based on how you feel you'll grown in your faith and how you'll be blessed so that you can be a blessing. Feel free to reach out to Alex and Yasuda, and Parkie and Caroline with any questions!
Peace out,
Jason
