Group Facilitators Needed
A Grace Group Facilitator guides conversation and encourages everyone to participate in the activities and discussion, including themselves. No biblical scholarship, advanced preparation, or experience is required to serve as a facilitator. The Facilitator Guide gives facilitators everything they need to guide the group through the sessions including background information, instructions, and tips for carrying out this role.
Faith for the Future:
Grounded in Faith. Growing in Generosity.
This is the theme that Faith Lutheran will love under for the next three years. A 6-Session Bible Study will ground us in what matters most while also calling us forward—inviting us to deepen our faith and expand our capacity for generosity in all areas of our lives.

Together By Grace
With a focus on invitation and conversation, Together by Grace walks through books of the Bible while asking, “How can we approach these stories honestly, wrestle with tough questions, and build community along the way?” Available bible studies for this series include the Gospel of John, Romans and Psalms. Many Grace Groups studied the Gospel of Matthew this past winter/spring. Grace Groups can choose any of these to study. Books can be ordered at www.augsburgfortress.org. Reach out to Pastor Eric Carlson with questions at eric@faithlc.org or 515-225-8334.
Affinity Groups
Affinity groups are for people who share commonalities that make their natural connection more likely. People who have young children at home have many things in common with people who are in that same phase of life. This is true for empty nesters as well.
Other Affinity Groups might gather around particular topics or activities that deepen their sense of connection. Art, music, sporting events or book clubs are just a few ideas a Grace Group might consider. There is a place to name your areas of interest on the registration form.
