New Opportunities this Fall, 2011: Sermon App Groups

There's an App for That: "Sermon App"

This coming Fall, Hope Fellowship is embarking on a new initiative to encourage all of our members to get connected with others through a small group. To keep the process as simple as possible, we are encouraging people to set aside time in their schedule to meet regularly with a small goup of people to reflect on the Sunday morning message. All sermons are available on-line, giving group members opportunity to listen to the message a second time. Discussion questions will be available through the web-site.

Leaders, locations, and times of meeting will be advertised as soon as our small group leaders are in place. Registration for groups will take place during our Open House Sunday, September 18, 2011.

If you are interested in hosting a "Sermon App" small group at a location of your choice, please contact Pauline at congreg_life@hopefellowship.ca as soon as possible.
