Thank You Small Groupies!

I want to give a shout out to all of our High Rockers who are in small groups. We have increased our participation in small groups to 33% of our average weekly adult attenders (and for you "number nerds" like me...that's 254 people now in small groups). As some of you know, we have been on a campaign to increase our small group participation and have so over the last 4 months.
 
It's not just about numbers so we can say we have X % of our High Rockers in groups to check off some box. It's about getting as many of us in small groups so each of us can continue to grow in our Christian walk and spiritual maturity. Unless you are in or have experienced a small group you really don't know what you're missing.
 
In addition to going into a deeper study into the past week's message (or an independent study) at our weekend services we experience awesome fellowship and support from our fellow groupies. It's really hard to explain in mere words what support we get from our groups. Friendships begin and deepen, activities together as families or individuals grow and outreach to group members, the HRCC family and communities surrounding our campuses happens as we share our love for Christ outwardly as we are commanded to do in the Bible.
 
As each HRCC campus grows larger, we have to grow smaller at the same time. This is were our small groups come into play. In HR 101 we discuss that the heartbeat of HRCC is our small groups.   
 
If you are not in a group and would like to know more, please contact me at the church.
 
 
Hope to see you in a group!
 
In Christ,
 
Mike
