Getting the Most out of Life Groups - Video 2
Although this video also went out in today’s church-wide email, be sure to watch it and share it with your Life Group. Spend a few minutes this week discussing it’s content with your Life Group. Here is a question to help prompt the discussion: In this second video titled "Pursuing Fellowship," the pastors highlighted the need to live out the “one anothers” in the church. They specifically mentioned being in physical proximity with one another knowing the spiritual condition of one another. In what ways do you want to grow in these areas this year?

An Opportunity for Life Groups With Singles
Life Group Leaders, if you have singles in your group consider inviting them to the next singles event and going with them for support. The next event is Saturday September 13 from 7-9pm where there will be a Q&A with the pastors. Perhaps this is an opportunity to encourage your singles to go while getting to know them more while encouraging them with your presence. Encourage them to RSVP here.
