Serving

Honoring Your Family When Life Is Hard

This is the 2nd to last week of the Community Group trimester.

Before the summer break, make sure to put some dates on the calendar for your group to connect this summer.

This is also a great time to review your Growth Goals for the year, celebrate how God has worked in your life, and set some goals for the summer.

Lastly, take some time in group this week or next to ask for feedback about everyone’s group experience so you can make helpful adjustments for the future.

You can hand out a 3x5 card and have everyone shared 1 thing they loved, and 1 thing they’d change. Or you can have everyone fill out an End of Trimester Feedback Form.

What Makes Christianity Compelling?

If You didn’t get a chance last week to cast vision for your group by talking about the purpose of groups (Apply the Bible, Build Relationships, Care for Each other), vision (to invite others and multiply in the future), volunteer schedules, and the group agreement, you’ll find those included in this weeks discussion questions.

If you didn’t get a chance to set growth goals last week, be sure to take some time in your group to do that this week.

Gifted

2018.05.13 - Aaron Hixson - "Gifted" Part 2 of the "Sacred Rhythms" series It seems like our culture is obsessed with "changing the world," whatever that means. Yet for most of us, we're too busy trying to stay alive to worry about fixing global problems. But what if it turned out that each one of us possesses something that is VITAL to the future success of God's mission on earth? And what if we kept that power to ourselves? This Sacred Rhythm is all about discovering our unique capacity and how holding it back might just be stealing from the church. 1 Peter 4:10

Love Does

2017.10.08 - Drew Karschner - "Love Does" Love might be one of the most overused, yet least understood, words in the English dictionary. We often think of love as a feeling, but love is a decision followed by action. One question you might have is this: Since the world we live in is so large, how can we really show our love? How do we get beyond our walls and neighborhoods and truly love like Christ commands us? Matthew 22:36-40
