Small Group Ministry

WEAVE US TOGETHER IN LOVE

We are many textures
we are many colors
each one different
from the other. But
we are entwined with
one another in one
great tapestry. (Chorus)

A moment ago, still we
did not know our unity
only diversity. Now the
Christ in thee is one
great family. (Chorus)

            Chorus
Weave, weave, weave us
together in unity and love
weave, weave, weave us
together. Weave us together,|
together in love.

Small Groups are centered around fellowship time with opportunity to become well acquainted,

share interests and concerns and develop ideas of ways the group can enhance life, share

Christ’s love and be the best Christians we are capable of being.  Breaking bread together is an

important part of each group.

FELLOWSHIP AND DINE

These groups gather for fellowship and food, to come to know one another better and to share

love and compassion for each other.

FELLOWSHIP AND STUDY

These groups also gather for fellowship, but participate in a study decided upon by the group.

FELLOWSHIP AND PROJECT

These groups also gather for fellowship, but organize specifically to fulfill a project

Summer residents and guests are invited and encouraged to sign up for any group and enjoy the

fellowship while you are in Estes.
