The early church did not meet in large parish buildings, but in small groups in people's homes. A large part of Christ's ministry was conducted in small groups which enabled him to nurture the faith of his believers and encourage them toward spiritual growth, so that they could be more effective in their own ministry. We listen in church, we read in our quiet time, but we talk at Home group. Most groups meet one evening on a weekly basis, some biweekly, usually in the leader's home. Some groups include members from different congregations, which creates a bridge between people involved at St. Jude's in various ways.
Members usually contribute to the group by bringing supper, leading prayer time etc.
A good way to get to know other people from your congregation is to move to other groups after a year or two We encourage you to join a Home Group as soon as you are able to.
