Kyle McDonough

We will start the group with the Take Ground study guide that is inspired by this year's vision that Pastor Rob shared in January. We believe that we are going to end the year strong as we take ground as a church and see you take ground personally! This group is designed to get into God's Word, grow in your relationship with Jesus and connect with others. We will read the Bible together following the River Valley SOAP method. We can't wait to get to know you! If for some reason, we are unable to meet in Kyle's garage, we meet at Mocha Monkey in St. Bonifacius.

Genesis Precept Study

Crosstown

Wednesday at 6:45 PM

This is a 26-week study of Genesis, the first book of the Bible. Precept is an inductive Bible study method whereby you let the text and the Holy Spirit teach you. There's a workbook for personal study followed by a 75-minute weekly group discussion every week. Genesis in structured in five parts, with Part 1 covering Chapters 1-2 (the Creation story) in four lessons. Part 2 starts on 11/11/23. Options for personal study include either "In-and-Out" (2 hours of weekly personal study) or the deeper "Precept-Upon-Precept" (four hours per week). Choose the depth of study that works best for your schedule. Workbooks can be ordered directly from the Precept website at precept.org > Shop > By Book of the Bible or Topic > Genesis > Precept-Upon-Precept or In-and-Out > ESV or NASB workbook > Part 1. The Part 1 workbooks are $7.00 or $9.00. I've studied by this method for over ten years, and I believe that it's one of the best ways to know the Bible and grow your faith. Finally, my plan is to follow Genesis with Revelation beginning in April 2024. The bookends; alpha and omega.

Hannah’s Hope

Shakopee

Wednesday at 5:30 PM

This is a safe place to process and pray through child loss and infertility struggles 1 Samuel 1:19-20 Samuel Is Born 19 The family got up early in the morning and worshiped before the Lord. Then they returned to their house in Ramah. Elkanah lay with his wife Hannah, and the Lord remembered her. 20 The Lord made it possible for her to have a child, and when the time came she gave birth to a son. She gave him the name Samuel, saying, “I have asked the Lord for him." Samuel's Hope: A group of prayer warriors believing that God will make it possible for them to have a child. We will be asking God to remember us, just as he did Hannah in 1 Samuel, and to bring us a child. This group was created to be a source of encouragement, prayer support, and safe place to share. It's for women who have a desire to have children, but are facing obstacles. It's a place where we as women will stand together and ask God to make it possible. We will ask God to remember us and give us sons and daughters to raise to honor Him. The plan - to commit every Monday to a time in prayer for each other

Men’s Open Gym Basketball

Crosstown

Sunday at 7:00 PM

We are starting a men’s only (for now) small group in which we’ll be getting together on Sunday nights at Trinity Lutheran Church in Long Lake, for open gym basketball. All skill levels are welcome and the gym will be reserved for this RV group, specifically. Get in the gym and enjoy some fellowship and fun runs up and down the court for a few hours, followed by group prayer. Competition is great, especially in an encouraging environment, surrounded by men who love Jesus. Let’s form some authentic friendships while collectively missing plenty of shots and turning the ball over dozens of times. Please wear outdoor shoes until you enter the gym, in which then you can switch into your gym/basketball shoes. The cost is $5/person (each time) and their staff prefers cash, if possible.

The Promise Principle | Joe Miller

Thursday at 7:00 AM

You are welcome here! This is a "join at any time" men's group. We meet at Hope Breakfast Bar 1 SOUTH LEECH STREET SAINT PAUL, MN 55102 If you are looking for a deeper connection with God, this group is for you. God desires that we overcome being ruled by our thoughts and feelings, which are highly influenced by our circumstances — family, work, health, or temptation. 2 Peter 1:3–4 tells us that we can actually do this! It comes from learning to respond to God's promises in His Word and through prayer. This is the purpose of The Promise Principle Men's Small Groups. Whether you’re still exploring faith in Christ, or you have been a Christian for many years, you’ll experience what we believe Jesus meant when He called His disciples to change the world by discovering and responding to His promises, truths, and commands.
