Read full description

Fellowship Groups keeps your small group organized between Sundays. The next meeting sits at the top of the group with the date, the address, what you're covering, and anything to read beforehand. Tap once for directions. Say whether you're coming so nobody has to guess how many chairs to set out. WHAT'S INSIDE Meetings. Date, time, location, and the plan for the night. One tap for directions. RSVPs. See who's coming before you cook for twelve. Prayer requests. Requests attach to the night they came up, so they're still there next week instead of buried in a group text. When one gets answered it moves into a record of what God has done in your group. Meal train. A leader posts the slots, everyone claims what they're bringing. Group wall. Photos and comments stay with the night they happened. Attendance and birthdays. Leaders can quietly notice who hasn't been around, and the group gets a heads up before someone's birthday. Reminders. A nudge the night before and the morning of. Groups are private. A leader invites you by email, and only your group sees your group.
