What's
a large group meeting?
Well,
just what it sounds like: a meeting of our chapter as a large group.
These meetings are possibly the part of our ministry most visible to
the rest of our campus. It is at these meetings that the chapter
gathers for community worship, prayer, teaching, witness, and
fellowship.
Worship
in song is an integral part of almost every meeting, and we also take
time to pray
together. Teaching
is often done by a guest speaker, through exposition of a Bible passage
or through a topical study of an issue relevant to Christians in
graduate school. Sharing from group members during the meeting allows
us to witness
to one another how God is working in our lives. Finally, no meeting is
complete without the time spent both before and after in fellowship:
talking, laughing, sharing concerns, and building relationships
one-on-one.
We
have Large Group meetings most Fridays during the semester at 7:30,
usually in the Illini
Union. Large Groups are sometimes followed by a social, After
Large
Group Events (a.k.a. ALGE).
