BELLS Groups Overview

Purpose – create life groups that will encourage everyone within C3 to participate at least for a few months in the BELLS experience.

Structure

BELLS groups will gather once or twice a week from October 18 through December 31^st.  They can be 2 – 20 people… or whatever.

Agenda
