Care Group Ministry: The shepherds want to share an update about our CARE Group ministry. CARE Groups are an important part of how we grow closer together, build family-like relationships, and welcome new members and visitors into our church family. We also recognize that many families are facing significant time pressures, and our church calendar is full. Because of this, many groups have struggled to find consistent meeting times. So we want to encourage each CARE Group to meet at least once a month at whatever day or time works best for the group. And we want to be clear: it is okay for a CARE Group to meet before, during, or after our Sunday evening assembly if that is the most practical time for them. We value our Sunday night services deeply, and we are not changing anything about that format. We simply want to give groups the flexibility they need to meet and grow. Our hope is that every member has opportunities to build meaningful relationships and to be encouraged. CARE Groups help us do that, and we appreciate your support as we continue fostering a strong, connected church family. Thank you for your understanding, your grace, and your commitment to building one another up in love. The Shepherds
