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 on several Fridays during the semester at 7:30pm,
usually in the Illini Union. Large Groups are sometimes followed by a
social, After Large Group Events (a.k.a. ALGE).
The current semester's large groups are listed below. They
are also listed in our Google Calendar, which is available
online,
