Small Group Ministry Develops Caring Relationships!

You are invited to join one of our ChristCare Small Groups. Here is a listing of the groups. Contact the group's leader to find out the next time they meet and where so you can become a part of this caring ministry.

1. Does Southern Comfort seem like an odd name for a church group? Possibly, however, the group is named "Southern", because they meet in Shelbyville at different member's homes. The "Comfort" part of their name reflects the comfortable style of this group and how they give comfort to each other. They meet the 2nd & 4th Thursdays of each month at 6:30pm. Their group leader is Joyce Kissell.

2. The Daylighters meet during the light of day the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays at 1:30 p.m. and share the light of Christ with each other.  They are currently discussing the Lutheran Handbook and have copies available for anyone who cares to join them. Fred Hubert is the group leader.

3. The Beacons light the way for each other, their children and the children of the community as they sponsor the Vacation Bible School program each summer. This small group of moms with young children meet every other Tuesday at the church at 6:30pm. Babysitting is provided and Jane Hale is their leader.

4. Sunday Servants meet on Sundays at 4 p.m. They enjoy a meal together and serve the church and community by hosting the Easter Egg Hunt and Christmas Caroling each year. Russell Chaffee leads this group at the church.

5. Herd of Cats is definitely an interesting name for a small group. They meet every other Saturday night at member's home, eat supper together and discuss lots! They have fun attending plays together, studying the Bible, helping with Trunk or Treat and hosting a Ham and Bean supper. Sharon Scholl herds this group along.

6. Decades of Disciples have 5 members born is 4 different decades and we are all working at being better disciples.  We meet at members homes every other Monday with leniancy for conflicts.
