ChristCare
Small Group Ministry:
Caring Hearts – Faithful Servants
Why join a small group? Think of the last group that you really
enjoyed. What was it like? Didn’t you get to know others really
well? Didn’t you work together on a common, meaningful project?
Didn’t you develop skills you hadn’t known you had? A ChristCare
group is organized around a common purpose, or a shared
circumstance, or a simple desire to be a group. The activities of
the group are structured to build community, to stimulate spiritual
growth, and to develop and use personal gifts and skills in outreach
and service to others. Want to join one? Contact
Chip Kyle,
Karen Tobin, or
Dan Spike at 847-381-0975 if
you want more information or are interested in starting or joining a
ChristCare small group.
