History
This care group has been going on for a
few years, but typical of our church with people constantly in
transition, people come and go. But then there're always some
who are here to hold down the fort!
Make-Up
As for composition, we are quite international
- our backgrounds include Canada, US, UK, Australia, Singapore,
HK, Thailand, Philippines (hmm... did I miss any...) As for profession,
education is slightly ahead at this point, but the other professions
are gaining ground - finance, law, I.T., architecture, etc.
As for hobbies, tennis, music, movies/TV
drama, cooking, IT, .... (I know I have left out a bunch.) And
many love different board and card games, like Cranium, scrabble,
Settlers of Catan, "dirty neighbors" - just to name
a few.
Format
As for format, for those who want to and
with prior reservation, we meet for dinner at the host's place
for dinner at 7-ish. (You can also just bring your take-out.)
Then at 8:00, we meet together for worship in songs as a "big"
group (about 15 or so at the time of writing). Then we split up
into two smaller sub-groups to study.
One of the sub-groups is an indepth study
group using the inductive
Bible study method (which requires each participant
to invest one hour in doing the homework each week).
The other sub-group is a Bible discussion
group following some suggested questions.
Current
Study
Currently (Summer
2009), both sub-groups are studying the topic of love (since
people tend to travel in summer, even though we continue to meet,
we will not follow the regular format but have more interactive
studies and in a more lively format).
