SF will be setup based on 3 main components
1) Worship
2) Teaching
3) Sharing (Small Group format)

Why do we meet in SF?
Hebrews 10:24-25
24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.
25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another — and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
1) Worship
Worship is not just singing/signing or the expression of our feelings just before the start of a service. It is not something that is separate from teaching/sharing but a continuous act of submission and praise to God.
In Revelation 4&5 (you can download the powerpoint preso), we see thousands of angels praising and worshiping God and His greatness. Singing/Signing gives us a time to focus our minds on God and forget our worries of the week. We are called to lay down our worries at His feet and worship allows us to just concentrate on Him.
2) Teaching
The sharing of the word will be done progressively. For the first few sessions, we will go through the basics of our beliefs. Later on, we will be following a book series that involve many many fun activities that will allow us to know God more intimately :-)
3) Sharing (Small Group format)
The most important part of SF will be the sharing among ourselves. In the bible, you will get many qoutes of "one another". This is a reminder that our journey with God is not alone. We are asked to live with one another, encourage one another, share with one another........and the greatest commandment of all, to love one another.
Living with God is not an isolated path....and in smaller groups, we will be able to edify (encourage), challenge and grow together. SF will be an opportunity for all of us to meet up and share our lives.
