EM Growth Groups

Iris Chung (on behalf of the EM Cell Group leaders)

Growth Groups is the 2023 re-branding of EM Cell Groups that have been running since 2020. Praise God that this year we saw so many new leaders step up to lead a Growth Group! Each of these leaders were involved with Cell Groups and having been served and grown well in one, were convicted and keen to serve by leading groups of their own. What a testament to the way that God works powerfully through small communities of believers meeting up regularly to read the Bible!

This year, we have seen God continue to do that. We have undergone a lot of change – re-shuffling of groups, many new leaders and members, re-setting of vision and goals – and God has been in control guiding all our decision-making and working through all our efforts. Groups have been settling in and members are getting to know one another and engaging in thoughtful discussion over our studies in Colossians and now ‘6 Steps to Loving Your Church’ and Ecclesiastes. In Colossians we encountered Jesus Christ as the man through and for whom all things have been created. We were reminded of His supremacy and were challenged to follow Jesus above all other priorities in life. What a blessing it was to encourage, sharpen and teach one another as each member learned and wrestled with these truths of our great God.

Another personal highlight for me was seeing members from each Growth Group spanning various generations and walks of life come together for times of fun and fellowship during the year. We look forward to more opportunities like these of encouragement and discipleship.

We pray that in this next year, GGs would continue to be places of great love and support and of building one another up into maturity in Christ.
