Wondering about the Reset journey?
You've come to the right place.

A community-wide journey focuses the entire church on one topic for approximately six weeks. Everyone—from kids to the old folks—is on the same page, learning about the same topics and growing in similar ways. A journey consists of three parts: the weekend message, individual study and small group interaction. For the six weeks of the journey (beginning February 21), it is the main thing. Everything else shuts down. Everyone participates. Everyone is challenged.

1. Consider asking a group of friends or people with whom you serve to form a small group, or try the Find A Group tool to get connected with small group hosts looking for people to join their group. The online tool will enable you to specify the kind of group you’re looking for and the area of town you’d like to meet.
2. Attend a Connect Event on Sunday, February 22 to meet other people looking to get connected to a group.
3. Join an onsite group that will meet on all six Wednesday nights of the journey. You can also try the Lift, a young adult ministry held at the Vineyard in the Student Union on Thursday nights at 7:15pm. Go to www.theliftcommunity.com

Absolutely. We welcome people from all different places of their spiritual journey. You will be asked in this series to read from the Bible and work on some homework assignments, but your questions and concerns are welcome and expected. Just know your host may not have all the answers, but we are willing to help in any way we can.

We all have doubts, questions and assumptions we’ve made about Jesus, and that’s why we’re doing the Reset journey. Together, we’ll investigate the life and claims of a real person whose influence on history was so monumental that we date time after him, and we won’t make any assumptions about what people believe. And, hey, it’s only six weeks.

You’re not alone. Many of us feel the same way. It could be a surprising, or really healing experience, though, to keep an open mind and check out one of the participating church communities for six weeks. But if you really don’t want to venture into a “church,” then don’t. But don’t let that stop you from participating in Reset. We’ll post videos of the weekend messages online at www.vineyardcincinnati.com every weekend, so if you prefer to listen while sitting on the couch in your pajamas, you can be just as prepared for your small group meeting as everyone else.

For Reset, we encourage you to expand your group (to no more than 12 people), or to consider breaking up. Given the topic of this year’s journey, the number of people who are not in a small group currently, and the need for hosts, we’d love for you to consider having your current group split, either temporarily or permanently, for the sake of reproduction. Consider the dynamics of your group and what you feel God is calling you to do.

Of course. Just let your small group host know in advance when you won’t be able to attend.

Sure! Our weekend messages are posted online so you can catch up if you have to miss. The weekend experience is a large component in the journey, but it is just one of three important components. The materials we provide and the small group experience will be of great benefit, even on the weeks you have to miss.

Personal guides will be available on the first weekend of the Reset series, February 21 and 22. Electronic (PDF) versions of the guide will also be available online. You’ll also want to get your hands on a Bible for the series. You can pick one up for free in any brochure rack. Your host will also provide group materials, including a DVD.

First of all, relax. We’re here to help. You can stop by the info table before and after Celebrations, or just send us an e-mail to hrinda@vineyardcincinnati.com.
