CONNECTing at Highview in January

Sundays are not enough. For meaningful connection to happen along the road to spiritual formation, an hour or so together on a Sunday morning, just won't cut it. That's why we are providing everyone at Highview with a four-week opportunity to connect in small groups of 6 to 12. We'll be learning together from a fun and effective tool called REGROUP, that uses DVD vignettes, table talk discussion, and small group interaction to form our understandings and expectations of community life and spiritual growth.

Begins: Week of January 9.

Sign up on the Community Board TODAY!!!
