How to Airplay and/or Cast to your TV.

We'll provide old school DVDs to group leaders to use if you prefer or the internet is out. For those of us who don't have access to a time machine, we can use an HDMI cable, or there are some good options to get the videos wirelessly to your TV.

October 15-21

There's no better conversation than one had around a table (or on a couch with a paper plate).

Choose the host home or book the restaraunt. Plan the menu. Party like it's 1999 🎉

---I know some of us weren't even born yet, so just imagine.---

Bonus: Try your hand at hosting a sabbath meal if you want to give it a try and your group is up for it. Just be warned, this might very well become a thing 🤪

October 22-28

October 29 - November 4

We are pumped 💪 for Praise Small Groups to join with Praise Kids to share Jesus' love with our neighborhoods this Halloween. 🙌

November 5 - 11

Bonus: Join pastors Dylan and Nichole along with a few friends for a Worship & Songs livestream 🎸

Info TBD.

November 12-18

Not sure about that big 🦃 Thanksgiving meal coming up? Dust off the smokers and deep fryers and try your recipes out on your small group. We don't mind. We'll take one for the team...

It's our favorite way to be together...

🍽️ With a meal.

November 19-25 Practice sabbath. Stop. Rest. Delight. & Worship. Enjoy thanksgiving with your circles.

November 26 - December 3

Fa la la la la, la la la la!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! 🎅 As small groups, we're going to be serving together to get Praise ready for our community to come experience Christmas at Praise!

We'll have more details as the date approaches, but we can't wait to get our tinsel on with you.

We have a leaders meeting on December 6th 🗓️.

What groups do without their leaders, well, that's up to y'all. While the boss is away...

But only for a few more weeks...

December 10-16

Schedule up big celebrations with your group for Christmas and New Years. 🎊

This would be a great time to put your Sabbath skills to the test, in the middle of the hustle and bustle of family get togethers and gift shopping. Take some time to stop, rest, delight, and worship.

We won't have official small group meetings again until January 2024! 😳
