This Week's Sermon "I Refuse to Lead a Dying Church" This week we looked at three choices that we can make to continue to be a thriving church: choosing life over death, choosing community over isolation, and choosing fun over drudgery. We'll continue by looking at three more choices next week. You can listen to our download this week's sermon here. | |
| LifeGroups Are you looking for a way to dig a little bit deeper into your spiritual life? Would you like some companions on your journey? Would you like to be a part of a safe group that will stimulate and encourage you and hold you accountable? LifeGroups are a way to find that. We have groups that meet weekly here at the church and we are going to supplement those with groups that meet in people's homes throughout our community. What kind of experience are you looking for in a small group? What frequency of meeting would work out best for your schedule? If weekly is too much, maybe every other week or once a month would work. Would you be willing to host a small group in your home? Would you be willing to lead or co-lead a small group, or would you be willing to "apprentice" with a group leader? Email Jason or Carol or join the conversation here.
