Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the cost?
A: For the Gathering, the fee is $25 collected at the first meeting. Also, each attendee will pay the actual cost of materials for their member books directly to their group leaders. (Most of the study materials cost around $20, but this will vary from group to group.) Our desire is that money wouldn’t prohibit anyone from attending. Contact Bonnie if this is an issue for you.
For non-Gathering studies, attendees pay the actual cost of materials to their study leader. All groups requiring childcare will ask for a contribution towards childcare costs. For non –Gathering studies, you will need to contact the group leader to find if childcare is being provided and how the costs will be shared.
Q: What is the Gathering program for the Children?
A: The Gathering on Thursdays includes childcare for the babies, and a children’s curriculum up through pre-school. Melanie Pearlman has put together a complete Bible- based program to disciple the children. Each Bible study group will rotate through to help with this program 3-4 times during the year. This is a great way to connect with our small groups through service and serve the kids and other moms at the same time.
Q: If the Gathering begins at 9:30 a.m., what time do I drop my child off?
A: Promptly at 9:15! We can’t wait to see them!
