The Externals...Format...The What:

- Host orders pizza and provides beverages
- Volunteers can bring a salad or dessert
- We will have time to visit and share and catch-up as well as dig into Scripture together.
- What do you need from a small group? Why participate? If it was disbanded tonight, what would you miss?
- Are you different today than you were a year ago? What happened to create that change? Did this group impact that change? How? Do you need to take care of yourself in another way?

- This group provides a sense of family
- I spiritually gain from being together
- I am challenged to live a life of faith outside the gatherings
