Network Groups

We started our "network groups" this week. Pretty excited to roll them out. We've been eagerly awaiting the proper time to begin the various groups. Having moved into a new location, coupled with University starting and a wave of new participants in our sunday gatherings, the timing was right.

It was a big win for us. We had a high percentage of people, particularly a lot of new people sign up. Tony did a good job pushing it this past sunday, so we were all pretty astonished to see all the names that were signed up at the end of the gathering.

Tony and Yvonne are doing Eikon 1.0, which looks at the 5 core values of Eikon. It's great for the newcomers at Eikon to learn and discuss the philosophy of how and why we do church. Myself and Kate are running a group built around nooma videos, which are in short-film format that are essentially modern-day parables. Mike and Claire are running an Alpha Course.

Had a great first night with our group. Some german exchange students came along after checking out Eikon yesterday, which was pretty cool.

Tonight we explored the question: why does God answer one person's prayer and not the others. It was lively.
