CC SMALL GROUPS
The church is a community of people….not a thing or a place but a living, breathing, group of people connected to their God and to each other. At Hephatha, we believe that small communities of believers are some of the best places to get connected to Jesus and other believers.
Community Connections small groups are places where people get together to read and study God’s word, talk about how it applies to their lives, and pray for each other.
Community...friends...faith...life
Group # 1
If my marriage is supposed to be so good, why do I sometimes feel so bad?
If you ever ask this, you may be a victim of one of the following “attacks” on the modern marriage:

You can learn how to deal with the above potential pitfalls.
Also, learn more about the following ideas that affect a couple’s ability to make marriage work:
1. Dealing with conflict in ways that can actually strengthen a marriage.
2. Strengthening couples to withstand common pressures.
3. Addressing myths about marriage.
4. Providing ways in which the faiths of two spouses merge and grow together.
“Communicate, Care, Carry, Cheer…(these are) simple ideas based in Scripture that can help make your marriage work.” Drs. Les & Leslie Parrott.

Group # 2
Kids are going to push the boundaries, and they’re great at pushing buttons. It’s their job. Learn about different communication styles to help you listen better. Discuss ways to be consistent at setting healthy boundaries that not only prevent conflict and meltdown, but also coach your kids into becoming secure and independent adults. Most importantly, you’ll take home strategies that work.
This CC small group will start September 23rd and concludes on October 28th. The CC small group will meet on Tuesdays at 9:15 a.m. in the youth center on the church campus. For more information, call Pastor Arthur Andrews (714) 637-0887 156 or e-mail Pastor Arthur Andrews at: pastorarthur@sbcglobal.net
GROUP # 3
This year, our Men of Word Bible study will go through a life-changing and thought-provoking apologetics series that asks: Was Jesus Christ resurrected? Is Jesus Christ God? What is the Trinity? Is the Bible reliable? Who is God? As a result of this series, you’ll be better prepared to give an answer to others as to what you believe to be true about God, Christ, the Bible, and Christianity.
This group will start up on September 18th and continues through the year. The Men of the Word will meet every other Thursday at 7:15 a.m. in the youth center. For meeting times and location, please contact the facilitators Pastor Arthur Andrews at (714) 637-0887 ext. 156 or Price Maron at pmaron@sbcglobal.net or e-mail Pastor Arthur Andrews at: pastorarthur@sbcglobal.net
GROUP # 4
Do all religions worship the same God? This study will help you answer this question by simultaneously dealing with the following tough questions:
- Who was Jesus?
- Why focus on Jesus’ death?
- How is Jesus different from other religious leaders?
- Isn’t the resurrection of Jesus a myth?
- Did Jesus really claim to be God?
- What impact does Jesus make today?
By thoughtfully examining these questions, this CC small group will engage in the kind of dialogue that shows the Christian faith can stand up to scrutiny.
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).

Does the thought of sharing your faith seem scary, awkward, or unnatural?
