Transformed: How God Changes Us Women’s
Do not conform to pattern of this world but be transformed by the
Ministry
renewing of your mind. Romans 12:2
Events
sizes, no matter where you are
ou were created to
Y
experience life with other
people, and that’s why at
Greater, we encourage you to get
into a small group.
A small group is a group of
three or more people who gather
each week to hang out, study the
Word, and pray together.
This semester most of our
groups are studying the 7 key
areas in our lives God wants to
TRANSFORM, like our Spiritual
Health, Physical Health, Mental
Health, and Vocational Health to
name a few.
Other groups for men,
women, singles, and couples are
studying a curriculum specific to
their interests.
Groups come in all shapes and
there is a group for you.
The small group catalog lists
our groups with openings this
winter semester.
To join a group, complete a
GMZ Connection Card with your
contact information and on the
back of the connection card write
the ID# of the group you would
like to join.
It's that easy, but if you want
an even easier way to sign up for
a group this fall you can sign up
via Access ACS!
The winter semester begins
Feb. 8 and ends April 17.
