Discipleship Groups are coming

Plans are in full swing to launch our Discipleship groups in semester format this fall. By way of reminder, these will be the "semesters":

SPRING: February-April
MAY TERM: May
SUMMER: June-July
FALL: September-November

The down times that appear are for busy/ holiday periods when groups typically have a hard time meeting as well as some rest and recharge time for our leaders. The following groups are forming for our Summer period.
Leader's Discipleship: This group will meet Tuesdays in June at the church from 6:30-7:30. It will be led by Mike Kendall and is designed for those already in leadership/ teaching roles as well as those who may be joining that group sometime in the next few semesters. Especially those who are involved in several areas should be involved here. But all potential group leaders should be involved. Remember: "if your input does not equal your output, your upkeep will be your downfall".
Mississippi Task Force: Pastor Bud will be leading this group. They are currently forming and have not set day/ times for their meetings yet. This group will be made up of those making the trip to Hope City in August as a work team to minister to those still affected by Katrina. If you are interested , see Pastor Bud.

You will also soon see information about registering groups and sign ups for Fall semester groups. It is now that you should be considering these groups so plans can be made. The number and type of groups will only be limited by our involvement and imagination. I am excited to see people take those next steps of faith and growth. God is continuing to do some awesome things in our congregation.

The purpose of Discipleship Groups is to promote spiritual maturity through a nurturing environment!
