Small Groups Increase Faith, Fellowship, and Friendships Joining a small group is a great way to get to know other people at Lynwood. These groups meet on a regular basis each Sunday and throughout the week. Some of the groups do not meet during in the summer but will begin again in the fall. Having fellowship with a group sharing similar interests provides an opportunity to develop close personal friendships. New groups begin at different times throughout the year and run for six weeks or more. The following groups are typical of those offered throughout the year:
