As of last Sunday, 57 people have already signed up for small groups!  I think that’s the best news I’ve heard all year!

The sermon series that the small groups will be focusing on is “Shift:  Learning to Live Missionally.”  This word, “missional,” is one that tends to get used a lot, but there is still a sense of vagueness as to its meaning.  How is it different from simply doing missions?  Or doing evangelism?  Or doing outreach?

Well, in this next series we want to unpack that word a bit so that we can all develop a clearer understanding of what it means for Northminster to be a missional church, as well as what it means for us to be missional individuals.

If you haven’t signed up for a small group, yet, have no fear!  They begin the week of October 5, but you can still sign up this Sunday (September 28) or next Sunday (October 5)!  Sign up on the patio after church.  Simply find the group you want to join and put your name down.

You can also call or e-mail the church office and they’ll add you to the small group of your choice.  The phone number is 858-490-3995; the e-mail address is church@northminstersandiego.com.

I’m so excited about what God is going to do through these small groups!  And I’m excited that so many of you are going to be a part of what God will do!
