Small groups give individuals the opportunity to meet new people, deepen friendships, and grow together in discipleship. King Avenue has an active small group program with new small groups starting several times a year.  For more information or to sign up for a small group contact Pastor Linda Middelberg.

Groups starting in April:
 
Name of Group: From the Heart: Spreading and Finding Joy through Serving Others
Small group for people of all ages who want to find ways to help others along with an enthusiastic group of like-minded individuals. We will explore different volunteer opportunities that we can take on as a small group several times each month - some may be through the church, other opportunities will be out in the community and maybe even on the other side of the world! Bring your ideas and your enthusiasm!

Name of Group:  Daytime Book Group – “An Altar in the World” by Barbara Brown Taylor Thursday Afternoon, 12 – 1 pm (bring a brown bag lunch if you like) beginning April 12.

Name of Group: Living the Questions  - Part 2, Reclaiming the World led by Tom McIndoe. Tuesday nights, Starting April 17 @ 7:15 pm People know that at its core, Christianity has something good to offer the human race.  At the same time, many have a sense that they are alone in being a "thinking" Christian and that "salvaging" Christianity is a hopeless task. What is needed is a safe environment where people have permission to ask the questions they've always wanted to ask but have been afraid to voice for fear of being thought a heretic.
