BOOK CLUBS
Each summer, we encourage our church to have an intentional plan to grow in Christ with others. With the shifting of summer schedules, some community groups take a pause and focus on smaller groups of discipleship. Our “Book Clubs” are a great way for you to dive deeper in certain areas. If you'd like to join a group, email connect@thegatheringcity.com.
Next steps:
- Pick a Book.
- Pursue someone to read it together.
- Plan to meet!
RECOMMENDED BOOKS FOR THIS SUMMER
BOOK OF THE BIBLE
This seems so simple and like…duh! But it’s true. We grow with others, and in Him, when we read his word. Two recommendations/ways to do it:
- 1 John (This is our summer series. Take the passage preached, study it, and come to the meeting with the application questions answered)
- Psalms (Take one Psalm to memorize together for the summer. Share your life and the word each time you meet. 1 Thess 2:8 )
