O2 Connect Groups
We love doing 'life' together at O2 and connect groups are a great place to do that! We believe life change happens in the context of meaningful relationships and this year we are committed to developing stronger connections with one another and with our God.
If you would like to facilitate a connect group this year, we'd love to hear from you. Please email Ps Michelle at michelle@o2church.org.nz
Connect groups may be in a home, a cafe, at church or out and about. Some connect groups are based around a bible study and others are more social around a common interest or hobby.
Check out below to see the 2024 connect groups we currently have up and running.
MUMS Connect Group
Ps Michelle Bayly
We meet at a local cafe to talk life and encourage one another. Each week one person will take a few mins to share a little bit of their story and we will discuss a couple of questions from Sunday's message or a relevant devotional. There will also be an opportunity to share prayer requests and pray for one another. Feel free to bring your little ones and enjoy time getting to know other understanding mums and building friendship with those who are on a similar journey.
