C3 Communities
We have relaunched our small groups with this new title. The new name is indicative of a new approach, which ties in strongly with the vision God has given us as a church.
Essentially the meetings consist of three elements:
» Communion Meals
» Conversation and Sharing
» Care through Prayer
The idea of sharing communion over meals is a very biblical one:
“They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord's supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity...” Acts 2v46
The aim of this approach is to provide a place where people can be cared for, and minister to one another. This approach is not about learning more theory or theology; rather it is about putting the theology of love into practice. On his last night with his disciples before he was crucified, Jesus washed his disciples feet and shared communion with them (John 13). Afterwards he said, “You know these things - now do them! This is the path of blessing.” (v17)
This is all about loving one another and caring for one another in real and practical way and hopefully having a lot of fun along the way.
