COMMUNITY
We believe that God calls us not merely to Himself, but also to each other in community. Join us as we live life together as those touched by the love of God - in care and prayer, in perseverance of faith, in pursuit of holiness, growth, and service, and in the fulfillment of our calling. Food and fun not excluded!

Coordinators: Charlene Tsang & Katie Mui
​​
Our group primarily consists of married couples and young-kid families, but all are welcome!
This year, Saturday meetings work best for us, and our kids get to join too!
Kids have their own activity while adults discuss the study material (Emotionally Healthy Spirituality: It's Impossible to Be Spiritually Mature, While Remaining Emotionally Immature by Peter Scazzero), and then we share and pray by gender. We meet for 2.5-3 hours and the start time depends on most people's availability that Saturday. We rotate among a few meeting locations, and always have a Zoom option. Like many small groups at Cross Bridge, our mix of different life stages gives us diversity of perspectives and experiences during discussions. We try to be a community that can encourage and support everyone in their spiritual walk with Christ, wherever that may be.

We are a small group born out of the COVID era of meeting outside, even in the cold. We've since moved inside, but still do life together, meeting Saturday afternoons for study and sharing a meal afterwards. We welcome folks of all ages, and are child-friendly (meaning we may have special lessons/activities for them or allow for interruptions). Studies our group have gone through include The Prodigal God and Gospel in Life by Tim Keller. These have inspired us to serve our church body with BBQ lunches and to invite our friends to other social activities to build bridges
