FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What will we study?
The studies are based on the previous Sunday’s sermon. The pastors will write discussion questions that expand upon the main points of their sermon. They will include additional Bible verses that pertain to the topic and practical applications. Best of all, there is no preparation!

When will we meet?
When you sign up you will indicate a preference of a meeting time and day. You can form your own group or join a group based on the time they meet or a shared demographic (i.e. parents with small children, retired, Vikings fans, etc.). A typical meeting lasts a minimum of an hour and includes informal and guided discussion, prayer, and refreshments. No homework is required.

Where will we meet?
Groups of 8-10 people will gather together in a place determined by the group. This can be in a home of a group member, at Bethel, or… be creative! Maybe your BRIDGE group meets:
- For breakfast at your favorite restaurant before work?
- In a park setting out in God’s beautiful creation?
- In a specially created on-line chat room? (Use technology for your group to meet!)
- At a coffee shop?
Your lives can determine the best way for this group to work. We need both session participants and a group contact person who will be given timely and helpful communication for the group.

What is the commitment?
Small group sessions are in 8-week segments. Session One begins the week of September 26 and ends the week of November 20 (before Thanksgiving week).

How do we sign up?
Sign up tables and on-line registration will be available at the end of August. For more information contact BRIDGE Small Group Directors, Cindy and Doug Boese at boesemom@yahoocom  , #285-1866, Avis Hagen at hagen@bethellutheran.com  , #288-6430 or Pastor Anjanette Rist.
