Our Monthly Rhythm

Week 1 — THE TABLE
Open round-table conversation around the month's real-life question. Anonymous QR questions encouraged.
Week 2 — REAL TALK
Guest speaker, panel, interview or practical workshop. Useful enough that someone can confidently invite a non-church friend.
Week 3 — COMMUNITY NIGHT
Social experience, competition, service project, food, sports, games or another relationship-building activity.
Week 4 — ENCOUNTER
Worship + Word + testimony + prayer. The spiritual culmination of the month's conversations.
Week 5 — OUTSIDE THE WALLS
When applicable: outreach, collaboration, community service or a larger ComnGround experience.

Each month has one relevant life theme. The Wednesday curriculum explores it through conversation, practical support, community, and faith. ComnGround creates a larger community-facing experience that complements the same theme.
