Connecting with C.A.R.R. What can I expect?
We usually begin with 2 or 3 songs, which are projected on a screen up front for your
convenience. During this time we forget about ourselves and remember the one who makes us free.
After singing, we take care of business for a few minutes, such as:
Announcements
Offering
A 5-10 minute break, and then we move to classrooms for our group discussions. We
encourage participation, but no pressure will be put on you to share. We want you
to feel comfortable and share when you are ready.
We close with prayer and hand out food.
When are we done?
We are usually done within 90 minutes.
