Mission:
The Bible Bubble program is an initiative to build small group fellowship in our congregation and unite around God’s Word. Bubbles are a small but miraculous part of God’s creation. These temporary wonders bring joy, excitement, and can even help us feel protected, but they eventually pop and disperse their soapy water goodness all around. In the same way, God’s Word fills us with joy (Jeremiah 15:16), lights our path (Psalm 119:105), protects us as armor (Ephesians 6:14-15), and builds faith so that we can burst forth to share the Gospel with the world (Matthew 28:19-20). Immanuel’s Bible Bubbles are member-driven, staff supported, flexible groups that seek to strengthen and unite our congregation by providing a flexible framework for small groups to meet and dive into God’s Word so that we may share the love of Christ with our community.
Logistics:
Bible Bubbles are temporary and flexible and are designed for EVERY member of Immanuel (ages 0-100+) to participate! Each Bubble meets weekly as members schedule Bible Study time with their Bubble according to their own schedules. Each Wednesday, Immanuel’s website and social media pages will share weekly Scripture passages and conversation starters for Bubble use. After 4 months, members of a Bubble are free to “take a break” or join a different Bubble. Bible Bubbles are encouraged to meet in a variety of ways (in-person, online, inside, outside, at home or wherever works for you) and for whatever amount of time works for your group (15 minutes is just as viable as 2 hours!). The goal is building a routine of exploration, discussion, and fellowship of God’s Word. Bible Bubbles are intentionally small (we recommend 2-4 households or 5-15 people per Bubble), but every other month all the Bible Bubbles come together for Sudsy Sundays. These special days offer the opportunity for Bubbles to combine during the 9:30 AM Bible Study hour to discuss God’s Word in a larger group setting. Interested? Email Dr. Hahn
Goal:
Bubbles will…
- Strengthen our faith by studying God’s Word
- Build fellowship among Immanuel members
- Burst forth to spread the Good News of Christ our Savior
Starting Steps:
- Connect with a Bubble Leader or become one yourself by emailing Dr. Hahn at

- Make a Plan to Meet Weekly (in-person or online, inside or outside, at home or wherever!)
- Start meeting – materials will be posted starting August 26, 2020.
