WEEKLY UPDATE FOR THE WORD
This week, I want to discuss D-Groups.
One of our hopes is that as people participate through The Word that they will desire to be discipled or to disciple others. Many of the things we will be doing as a church body are things done in a D-Group. Hopefully this will make it easier for people to see that the discipleship process is not as hard as some people think it may be.
One great aspect of The Word is that our D-Groups will use the same reading plan that we are using as a church body. This will continue to streamline everything, allowing people to retain more of what they read and learn. Instead of having a different lesson for Sundays, a different lesson for the Pastor’s Bible study, and a different reading for a D-Group, everything will be in sync and will allow for greater discussion to take place on what everyone is reading and studying.
I will also be taking some steps to simplify our D-Group so it will easier for people to take steps toward starting a group and leading others. My hope is that by the time the series ends, we will see seeral people who have not been in a D-Group before take a step toward discipling others.
Next week, I will share how about “Who’s Your One?” and how we will challenge people to pray for the lost and invite people to church.
NEW ROOM LOCATIONS FOR LIFE GROUPS
Don’t forget that 9a Life Groups will move to their new locations on Sunday, June 28th. Due to recent growth, our student ministry will begin using the entire G building on Sunday mornings for Life Groups. Our CYAM groups will move into classroom in the C hallway of our main building.
Moving on July 28th will allow us to get everyone settled in their new locations before students and our CYAM move. It also prevents us from having too many people searching for new locations on Promotion Sunday (August 2nd for our kids, students, and our CYAM).
UPDATED CARE CENTER NEEDS (MAY)
In an effort to create another opportunity for you and your Life Group to serve together, we sharing monthly needs for our Care Center. We hope you find this is an easy way to encourage your group to impact the world together.
The current needs for this month are:
Men’s jeans
Bedding
Baby products (wipes, diapers, formula)
Feminine products
All items can be placed in the Care Center donation box next to the Fellowship Hall.
