The Financial Services Ministry Monthly Fellowship generally meets on the fourth Monday of the month at 7 pm at the Redeemer Church Office (1359 Broadway, 4th Floor) and is specifically geared towards worksite leaders, those working at firms which have no active worksite group, and those who are new to the ministry who would like to become more deeply involved.
We begin with a time of introduction during which we each introduce ourselves and give an update of what the Lord is doing in our workplace/life. We then have a time of announcements and event feedback followed by a 15 minute testimony from someone in the group. Finally, we break down into smaller groups for a time of Biblical reflection and prayer for our ministry, workplaces, each other, and the financial industry in New York before moving into a time of open fellowship/talking.
From January to September 2008 we will be going through a discussion series on the Beatitudes as they apply to our life and workplace.
