Important Info:
Deacon Retreat Homework Reminder - Here is the homework (Download Here) from the Deacon Retreat to download if you need to. As a reminder, please turn your answers in to your “point pastor” by the end of this month.
Office Moving Helpers Needed - The church is moving offices on Wednesday, March 2nd. Can all of your Life Group leaders tell your groups about this serving opportunity? We plan to get some items moved during the day, but heavy office furniture would be an after-work opportunity for those who can help, especially anyone with a truck and/or trailer. For more info, contact Chris Hernandez at chris@compassbible.tv.
Kids Care Help Needed On Tuesday Nights - During Plants & Pillars on Tuesdays from 6:30-8:30, we offer kids care for those with children who serve or attend a Life Group during that time. Plants & Pillars, and Life Groups are growing, so we need more help! Life Group Leaders, will you send this need out to your group? Serving here is an excellent way for someone to serve who currently doesn’t elsewhere. For more info or to sign up, contact Cody Davidson at cody@compassbible.tv.
