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
followed by a social, After Large Group Event (a.k.a. ALGE).
