Seniors Small Group: The Golden Ambassadors

Location: The Bridge Center off of East Entry up the short flight of steps or through the outside carport.

Family Group
Facilitator: Ramona Davis
Meet: Wednesdays @ 6:30 pm
Location: Room 106
Loving God and Living Godly: a Study in Romans 12-14: This summer we will look at how our culture is saturated in presenting an image instead of who we really are. This impacts the way we love, too. We sometimes pretend to love when we really don't. We'll closely examine Paul's instructions to the Christians in Rome about how to love from the heart, not just in words or shallow outward expressions.
Family Group
Facilitator: Kandy Bennett/Michael Rice
Meet: Wednesdays @ 6:30 pm
Location: Room 112
Go Fish and The Best Question Ever are 2 6-week studies by Andy Stanley that we will explore this summer. Have you ever thought of your family in the Lord as fishing buddies? Enjoy fresh perspective on why it's so important that we become fishers of men. In making life decisions we sometimes ask ourselves the wrong questions. We will look at nuggets of wisdom that will steer us into making the best life decisions ever!
Bridge Kids Small Groups: Ages 4-11
Facilitator: Jim Baker
Meet: Wednesdays @ 6:30 – 8:00 pm and
Sundays @ 9:15 – 10:20 am
Location: Lower Level at Bridge of Hope
This summer the focus will be on Character Values! Join us on Wednesdays 6:30-8pm for more Small Group learning and fun! We will be discussing Godly character traits and what they look like. We need God's character to grow and mature us as we walk closer with Him! There is a children's church service available during the main worship service in the same general location of the Lower Level immediately following the Sunday Small Groups. Our kids are the most valuable gift we can give to God! Bridge of Hope wants to partner with families to help guide our kids into an authentic relationship with Jesus. We want to support parents as they try to impress on their children the love and character of God.
Fusion Small Groups: Ages 12-High School Graduation

Critical Mass: an amount necessary or sufficient to have a significant effect or to achieve a result Fusion's small groups are called Critical Mass. We do life together in our small group time the first through the third Wednesday of every month. This is an awesome way for students to get connected to each other as well as learn and grow in their faith as they Love God and Love People at the same time. If you are a high school or middle school student or know any students interested please contact Pastor Jason.
Sundays
Focus Group: Women Only: He Leads Me Beside Still Waters: a Study in the Psalms
Facilitators: Alicia Umbel
Meet: Sundays @ 9:15 – 10:05 am
Location: Room 112
"He Leads Me Beside Still Waters," a 12week study of the choicest Psalms, will evoke in you a determined desire to find the Lord's Presence. God's glorious attributes are revealed in a variety of ways. Every word emits the aroma of humble worship and reverential fear. It's easy to while away hours indulging in the worldly fare offered on TV or the Internet. This is why it is so important to turn our thoughts heavenward!
Focus Group: Step One
Facilitators: Ramona Davis/Chris Figueroa
Meet: Sundays @ 9:15 – 10:05 am
Location: Room 108

It will encourage you in the best decision you've ever made and get you started in the right direction! As His child, He wants you to learn how to get the most out of life!

Facilitators: Joanne Baltes
Meet: 9:15 – 10:05 am
Location: Rooms 100-101
God is shaking things so we might learn to live by faith and not by sight. He wants to build your life on the permanence of the eternal, not the instability of the temporal. Our ever-living High Priest in heaven is able to see us through our difficult and demanding days, too. "The just shall live by faith."
Focus Group: Men Only
Facilitator: Mike Link
Meet: Sundays @ 9:15 -10:05 am

We live in a society that vies for our attention, our time, our energy, our money, etc. In this study by Andy Stanley we will take a look at what God says about how we steward our lives and our resources. This is a DVD-based study with discussion and personal exercises that will help you to refocus your life and spend your resources and lives in ways that will glorify God and help you to not feel stretched to the breaking point!

Contact Jon or talk with him on the Sunday Small Groups Sign-Up Day, May 16th, after the service.

"This is how we know we are in Him: Whoever claims to live in Him must walk as Jesus did." I John 2:5b-6 "We love because He first loved us. If anyone says, "I love God yet hates his brother, he is a liar." I John 4:12-20a "And He has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother." I John 4:21 So, let's work on our relationship with God and with each other!
Throughout the Week
Family Group: Revolution of Character
Facilitator: Cindy Urbach
Meet: Thursdays, 7-8:30 pm
Location: 5080 New Road, Austintown
Have we dropped our deceitful practices, insincerity, defensiveness, envy, and slander and moved outward toward others in genuine love? While this kingdom living is intensely attractive, we must admit the difficulty Christians have in finding this way of life. This study is based on the book, Revolution of Character. Like the book, the aim of this small group is spiritual change — a revolution of character. You don't need to purchase the book for this summer study.
