About The Quarter System: Every April, August, and December, we have a FILL month, when Small Groups are not meeting. During each FILL month, we publish a Small Group Catalog, listing all of the Small Groups to choose from. Each Small Group is assigned a Group # to make sign up easy.

Some books can be ordered on-line, and others can be purchased at a local Christian bookstore. Many times, LifeWay Christian Bookstore in How long should the average small group meeting last?
