Lifegroups are one of the places we form community as a church. They are small groups of between 5-10 people who meet at Church or on Zoom on different days through the week, to build friendships, to study the bible and to pray and support each other. Our lifegroups are open to people who attend worship services at St George’s, so for those who are part of other churches we encourage you to join a group at your own church.
Lifegroups are currently taking a break for the summer and will start again in the fall.
We usually have around seven groups, meeting during the day and in the evening throughout the week. There is the option of joining a group for men or women only, or being part of a mixed group. Some groups meet on Zoom and others meet in person. If you’re thinking about joining a group, moving groups, or would like to know more, please sign up to the waiting list linked here. We will be in touch when there is an opening to join a group. At that point you can choose to join or not depending on your schedule and commitments.
Growing on the Frontline
Runs September 21 for 8 weeks in Sunday Sermons and Lifegroups, taking a break for Thanksgiving and Remembrance weeks.
‘I just wish I could be more like Jesus.’
We want to make a difference in our everyday life. But so often our choices affect our fruitfulness. We fail to do the right thing or the kind thing. Our unchecked desires get in the way, and what comes out is anything but Christlike. How do we grow past that?
The good news is that our everyday contexts aren’t just places to do things for Jesus but places to become more like him. Growing on the Frontline is a small group course that will help you do just that.
Through a combination of video teaching, Bible study, and regular spiritual practices, you’ll explore what’s driving the choices you make when challenges and opportunities arise – and learn to respond with Christlike maturity as you grow more like him.
Because when we nourish the roots of our faith, we’ll see the fruit of our faith – as God works through us to transform the places we’re in and love the people we’re with.
This course is the sequel to the hugely popular Fruitfulness on the Frontline which we used at St George’s a few years ago.
Here is an overview of the sessions:
Grow together with your small group. Guided by videos featuring hosts Tim Yearsley and Ennette Lainchbury, walk through eight sessions full of biblical insight, real-life stories, and practical steps:
01
Growing wherever we are
Explore how God can help us grow more like Jesus in the everyday places and situations in which we find ourselves.
02
Our choices affect our fruitfulness
Our choices lead to consequences, whether we realise it or not. We look at how the choices we make affect the fruit we bear.
03
Our desires influence our choice
Explore what often lies beneath the choices we make – the desires of our hearts.
04
Our emotions reveal our desires
Dig deeper into how we can identify some of our more powerful desires by noticing our emotions.
05
Maturing in every season
Explore some of the different seasons of life, and how we can work with God to grow in maturity through them.
06
Going deeper with God in tough times
Dig deeper into the most challenging season, winter, and consider God’s invitation to push our roots more deeply into him in this season.
07
Turning inner growth into fruitful action
Put together all we’ve learnt, so we can grow in the freedom to respond as Jesus would to the situations we’re in.
08
Sustaining growth on the frontline
Explore how we can embed what we’ve been learning throughout this course, looking at three ways we can grow and be fruitful over the long haul.
