Introducing the Life Group Games - Life Group leaders, this is your chance to prove that you have the most incredible group once and for all. At this year’s first annual Family Weekend, we will be hosting the first annual Life Group Games! Each Life Group will compete over seven events throughout the picnic that will be scored. At the end of the event, we will crown one champion! A trophy will get engraved with your team’s name on it if you are the champion Life Group of the year. Battle for premier bragging rights that will last a whole year. The games have been designed for all age groups to give everyone a fair shot at the cup. Let’s GO!
Childcare for Family Weekend’s Friday Banquet - Childcare is full for Friday night. Here’s an idea on how to work with your group: Ask if anyone needs childcare and can’t go unless they get it. Then talk to your group to see if anyone has any babysitters available. If they do, perhaps you can coordinate a few babysitters to watch multiple family’s children simultaneously on Friday night.
Watch the Video on Multiplication - Two weeks ago we uploaded a video that elaborates a bit on what the process of raising up new leaders and multiplying life groups should look like. Your group may be going through this process sooner than you think, so make sure you are informed video link (and below).
