Creating and Leading a Way of Love Small Group
(this small group training can be used for ANY small group)

The purpose of an intentional faith-based small group is to build trusting relationships with God and one another. When we meet each other for conversation, practice, and prayer, we learn how to love. Call it a small group, discipleship circle, neighborhood group, life group or cell gathering – whatever the name, a small group provides space for prayerful support and accountability as we seek to live the Jesus Way.
El propósito de un grupo pequeño consciente basado en la fe es construir relaciones de confianza con Dios y unos con otros. Cuando nos encontramos para conversar, practicar y orar, aprendemos a amar. Llámese un grupo pequeño, un círculo de discipulado, un grupo de vecinos, un grupo de vida o una reunión celular: cualquiera que sea el nombre, un grupo pequeño proporciona espacio para el apoyo en la oración y la responsabilidad mientras buscamos vivir el Camino de Jesús.
Your small group may be a new discipleship group or you may decide to add a new level of intention to a circle like the vestry, Bible study, youth group, altar guild, choir, or chapters of the Episcopal Church Women, the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, or Daughters of the King. The goal is to open the door for God to work on us, in us, and through us, in powerful ways in the context of a small, intentional, dedicated group of disciples.
Su grupo pequeño puede ser un nuevo grupo de discipulado, puede decidir agregar un nuevo nivel de intención a un círculo como la junta parroquial, el estudio bíblico, la agrupación de jóvenes, la sociedad del altar, el coro o capítulos de Mujeres Episcopales, la Hermandad de San Andrés, o las Hijas del Rey. El objetivo es abrir la puerta para que Dios obre en nosotros, y a través de nosotros, de manera poderosa en el contexto de un grupo de discípulos pequeño, consciente y dedicado.
