Advent Small Groups

At St. Anne’s we hope that every parishioner can either find or start a small group in which they are welcomed, accepted and enriched. Our small groups meet weekly in homes, coffee shops, virtually or at the parish. The average size is between 6 and 8 persons. Each group will have an assigned facilitator who acts as a friend and guide to the small group members. We hope that groups wish to continue meeting after Advent.

Register now to facilitate a Small Group! It’s easy – you don’t need any prior experience. All training and materials are provided. All participants will receive a book with daily prompts. You will reflect together on the prompt for whichever day you meet. Simply choose the day, time and location that is convenient for you. Taniele Tucker, our Director of Discipleship & Small Groups will host an training on how to facilitate a small group. Once you do, you can invite fellow parishioners, friends, co-workers, neighbors, or newcomers to your group using the platform we’ve set up for you. Parish spaces are limited so we suggest offering your home (or even studio apartment!) as a gathering space. Groups can also gather in a coffee shop.

Facilitating a small group is a great leadership opportunity that draws others into deeper relationships with Christ and his Church. Facilitators should be willing to open leading the group in prayer and reflection and maintain contact with the Director of Discipleship and Small Groups for the continued development of their small group.
