Episode 10 (Season 2) Relationships: Fellowship and Prayer

About the Episode and Our Guests:
Join us to hear from a group of friends who have walked through - and prayed through - life together for a long time. Flora, Stephanie, Michelle, and Eugenia discuss with Mark what fosters a safe place to be able to share and be vulnerable. This group of women started meeting as a gathering of young moms who got together to pray over their children. They didn’t begin with a plan, but they know that God did. From “Play and Pray,” their community of deep friendship grew through ages and stages, through ups and downs, with adjustment and flexibility. Tune in to learn about fellowship, our calling to simply love one another, and about how to pray both individually and as a group.

Growth in Christ happens several ways, and one way is through relationships with others. We were not meant to go at the Christian life alone. God designed us to need each other. We grow as we pursue Christ together.

Small groups exist as a key place for relational discipleship, friendship, and Gospel-empowered service. They are a group of six-to-sixteen people who meet regularly in a home during the week. The hope is that Small Groups make disciples who make disciples, so that our church is strengthened, and lives are transformed (Eph. 4:13) as the gospel is applied to all aspects of life. They are an integrated part of PCPC spiritual formation and mission.

If you are new to PCPC or are looking for a way to grow deeper with others in our church, consider joining a small group that meets in a home! This is a great place to form new friendships, find a place of belonging and to be formed in Christ.

There are currently two types of small groups that meet in homes: neighborhood-based and life-stage based. To learn more, email SmallGroups@pcpc.org.

“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” -Isaiah 26:3
