MFLM (Marriage & Family Life)
TOPICAL STUDY GROUPS: MFLM topical study groups will be for married members of our EC.

MEN'S MINISTRY SMALL GROUP
The Men's Ministry Vision is to: To equip men of all life stages to be men after God's own heart while fostering fellowship, support, and encouragement. We strive to encourage one another to grow in Christ, as iron sharpens iron, to become servants and disciples of Jesus. "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." – Prov. 27:17

The small group will be sermon and topical (book based) study with emphasis of building a community of men to grow with and be challenged by. We will have weekly memory verses, study, prayer and fellowship. We will be meeting at the ODPC Worship Center on Thursdays (or Saturdays). If you have any questions, please contact Minsuk Kim (minsuk1623@gmail.com).

WOMEN'S MINISTRY SMALL GROUP
Over the summer, ODPC will host a women's study using the study by Beth Moore called When Godly People Do Ungodly Things Interactive Bible Study. The study will be held at church (specific location TBD) from 7-10PM. There will be a $20 fee, which covers the cost of the workbook and 7 DVD sessions. Please contact Susan Kim, (Kim.Susan911@gmail.com) with any questions. Below is a brief description of the study:

Believers are still subject to Satan's attacks. He is determined to disrupt the lives of Christians, destroy their ministry, and steal their joy. Sadly, those who have "fallen" may not recognize the devil's schemes until they have already been caught in a snare of defeat. This study is written in three parts. The first part is a warning to believers, while the second part shows women how to prepare for attacks by the enemy. The third part is directed to those who have been snared by seduction, and compassionately points the way back to God.

The women's study will take new members until Oct. 7. After Oct. 7, we ask that you join the Foyer Group, because you will have missed 5 sessions. You are welcome to join our study for 2nd semester.

ODPC DISCIPLESHIP MODULES/TRACK
Our classes on Christian foundations and discipleship will be offered on the "off-season" (winter and summer) of our regular small groups. These various classes will be taught by our elders, lay teachers, and staff. Classes will be offered from December to mid-February and from mid May to early August. This winter classes will include (among others): How to Read the Bible, Spiritual Disciplines, and Seeking after God. Please contact Pastor Dihan at dihanlee@opendoorpc.org with any questions.

REGIONAL SMALL GROUPS AND WOMEN'S GROUP
Step #1: Find a computer with internet access. Registration will open on Sept. 7th (Wednesday) at 8:00 PM EST.

Step #2: Please log onto the following link: http://www.odpcec.org/connect/sg_register.php

Step #3: Enter your email, and complete the profile on the next screen.

Step #4: You will only be able to register for one group at a time. If a group no longer has any openings, please re-register for another nearby group. Due to limited space, we ask that you only register for a location that you will be able to attend regularly. For those registering together as couples, please register through one name (preferably your husband's).

Step #5: If you were not able to find a group but would like to get more involved in the community life of our church, please consider joining our Foyer group, our various ministry teams, and also – for those who have been past SG members – consider being trained to become a small group leader so that we can open more groups in the near future.

Note #1: If you were in last year's group and contacted your group leader about remaining in your same group, you have already been registered and do not need to do so.

Note #2: Any attempt to register into multiple groups at once will immediately forfeit your "place" in those groups. Once small groups commence, we generally require that small group assignments be final for the year (i.e. no changing groups), barring exceptional circumstances.

If you have any questions, please contact Jerry Nguyen at gn5s@alumni.virginia.edu.

FOYER GROUPS
People who are wait-listed for our small groups will be meeting in our Foyer Groups until individuals get matched up with available Small Group openings. We will be meeting on Friday nights in the Fellowship Hall. If you have any questions about the Foyer Group please contact odpcfoyer@gmail.com.
