Growth Groups Spring '10

Spring is the time of year when things grow. As winter comes to an end and spring begins we all look forward to the first signs of spring. Here at Risen King we are convinced that the best way we can help prepare you for growth this spring is to encourage you to join a Growth Group. We are all involved in a process of growing and learning what it means to live as a believer in Christ.

Growth Groups are our way of uniting with each other to help each other take steps forward and grow in our relationship with Christ. The small group allows for a friendly atmosphere where we can deepen our relationship with Christ and with each other. The Growth Groups meet in homes, at Risen King, New City campus and also at a coffee house for 1-2 hours a week. The Growth Groups meet at different times throughout the week and have different leaders. Please consider taking a step toward growth and make the commitment of joining one of our Growth Groups this Spring. The groups will begin the week of February 21 and run through May 8th.  Check out the different groups below:

To reduce the pressure and enjoy greater closeness in your family, turn your parenting upside-down by allowing God to use your children to help you grow up. Imagine what would happen if you began to prize what you’re being taught by your children’s quirks, failures, and normal childhood dilemmas, rather than worrying about whether you’re doing everything right as a parent.

Sundays: 6pm at Marian’s house
Leaders: Marian Spina & Dale Reiger-Butler

This groundbreaking book shows readers the glorious design of women before the fall, describes how the feminine heart can be restored, and casts a vision for the power, freedom, and beauty of a woman released to be all she was meant to be. By revealing the core desires every woman shares-to be romanced, to play an irreplaceable role in a grand adventure, and to unveil beauty-John and Stasi Eldredge invite women to recover their feminine hearts, created in the image of an intimate and passionate God.

In Jim & Casper Go to Church, Jim Henderson hires an atheist--Matt Casper--to visit ten leading churches with him and give the "first impression" perspective of a non-believer. What follows is a startling dialogue between an atheist and a believer seeing church anew through the eyes of a skeptic, and the development of an amazing relationship between two men with diametrically opposing views of the world who agree to respect each others' space. Enjoy dinner as you discuss the book each week.
