What happens after Bible Study ends?
Men, are you unsure of how to keep growing? Ask your Bible Study Leader how!
Grab “Living by the Book” by Hendricks, pick a book of the Bible, and continue to use the SPECS study method you learned during Bible Study. Continue writing in your journal all the things that God is teaching you.
Share what you are learning with others. Continue to text the guys from your table. Share with your community group men.
Connect with others. Join other men for an informal gathering of men at CityBridge at Men’s Off Season. Meet us at the fireplace to come and connect, share and grow together. Thursdays, 6:30AM & 7PM. No registration needed. Just show up and feel free to bring a friend.
Tell others about God’s story. Share with coworkers, neighbors, or anyone that God brings into your life. God’s Word transforms us, show us more of who He is, and all of it is meant to be shared. Pray for opportunities to share with others what you are learning and how God is changing you and changing how you see Him. Pray for their response in faith.
Invite others. Invite men to join you at CityBridge’s Men’s Breakfast on October 29th. Register online in advance. We want this to be a space to bring friends, neighbors, coworkers to come and connect with other men.
Women, are you unsure of how to keep growing? Ask you Bible Study Leader how!
Grab “Living by the Book” by Hendricks. Pick a book of the Bible and continue to use the Inductive Bible Study Method handout to read, understand and grow.
Share what you are learning with others. Continue to text the women from your small group. Share what you are learning with them or share with your community group ladies. Be an initiator of conversation to share what you are learning.
Connect with others. Prayerfully consider different ways to reach out to neighbors and friends who are far from Jesus. Consider ways you can start to build relationships and create opportunities for faith conversations. Ideas could include:
Fall Fest – come, connect & invite families to join the fun
Hosting a Fall Thankfulness Party for your neighbors
Getting coffee 1:1 with others

Invite others. Invite women to join you at CityBridge’s Women’s Christmas Coffee on December 6th. Register online in advance. This is a space to invite friends, neighbors, coworkers to connect with other women and to clearly hear and respond to the gospel. We are saving a seat for you – bring a friend!
