SMALL GROUP LIFE @ WUMC

     Life is meant to be shared. God intends for us to experience life together. The Bible calls this fellowship. Real fellowship is much more than just showing up at services. It is experiencing life together. It includes unselfish loving, honest sharing, practical serving, sacrificial giving, sympathetic comforting, and more “one another” experiences. When it comes to fellowship, size matters – smaller is better. That’s why at Woodlake, we encourage you to join a small group. We offer various affinity small groups – couples’, singles’, workplace, men’s, women’s, etc. No matter where you are in life, there’s something for everybody!
 
“For where two or three have gathered together in my name,
I am there in their midst” (Matthew 18:20 NIV).
