Outflow FAQ

Join Us! Outflow is a five week church-wide campaign beginning Sunday, January 22nd through February 19th with sermon series, individual reading, and small group participation.  Be enriched by a relationship with God...to the point of overflowing into family, friends, the community and the world.  With Outflow there are no formulas to memorize, no sales techniques to master. Instead, you simply dive into God's love and then share it with others. It's authentic. Passionate. Enduring. Effective. Outflow books for weekly individual reading/small group study ($5 suggested donation) are available after all services.

Outflow FAQ

1. What are the Outflow books for? The Outflow book is filled with ideas on how you can naturally share your faith with others.  January 22nd & 29th you can purchase the book at the suggested price of $5.  St. Matthew was able to purchase the books in bulk greatly reduced from the regular $15.99 price.

2. Are the books just for Small Groups?  No. The books are for anyone.  The books complement the Sunday messages and offer many ideas for sharing your faith.  See a sample of the content here. http://www.amazon.com/Outflow-Outward-focused-Living-Self-focused-World/dp/0764434047#reader_0764434047
