Small Groups Begin Next Week!

Looking to connect more deeply with others at Gloria Dei? Small Groups are a great way to build new relationships, grow in your faith, and feel supported by a group of caring friends.

What is a Small Group? They are weekly meetings of 8-12 people for discussions and fun activities.

Groups will start the week of September 23 and end the week of November 11.

For this Small Group session we are chatting about the book Made to Belong: Five Practices for Cultivating Community in a Disconnected World by David Kim.

Click HERE to sign up for a group that works with your schedule!

Please purchase the book prior to the groups beginning next week. You may purchase one by clicking HERE.

There will be a few free copies available in the church office this week if you need one.
