Hi Group Leaders,
I hope you have been enjoying your summer, had some opportunities to get away and get some rest, and connect with friends and family.
I wanted to share a few updates with you as we prepare for a new season of Community Groups.
Fall Trimester
Our Fall Community Group Trimester is just over 5 weeks away, beginning on Sunday, September 15th.
We'll be meeting for 10 weeks, from September 15th to November 23rd
Group Leader Kickoff
Before our Fall Trimester begins, we'll all meet up together on Sunday night, September 8th, for our Re:Group Leader Kickoff.
At Re:Group we'll be addressing some questions we may wrestle with in leading and being part of a group:
Does your Community Group ever just feel like a weekly checkbox that is more draining than life giving?
Do your group relationships feel more shallow than transformational?
How do we move our group beyond a weekly check box to a life giving community?
How do we move group members from consumers to spiritual contributors?
How do we help our group members go from just showing up to "all in"?
We'll meet from 5:00pm-6:30pm with dinner, childcare, and a New Leader Breakout (4:00pm-4:45pm) where we’ll answer those questions and more.
Look for the RSVP email next week.
Who in your group can you invite to Re:Group?
If you have potential leaders in your group, inviting them to join you a Re:Group is one of the best ways to inspire them to join you in leadership.
What is Changing For Your Group?
As we begin a new season of Community Groups, we recognize your group may be experiencing changes.
In the weeks ahead we'll be looking to connect new people to Community Groups. In order to help everyone find the right group for them, we want to make sure our current group info is correct on our Group Finder.
Can you let us know of any changes to your group this fall?
Leaders
Campus Change
Night of the Week
Time
Meeting Format (In-Person or Online)
Childcare
Stage of Life (Demographics)
Address
Roster updates (Who needs to be added or removed?)
If your group is experiencing any of those changes, can you let your Coach know? We can help you make those updates to your roster and Group Finder listing.
We are here to walk alongside of you and support you however we can as you seek to grow in Christ and inspire faith in others!
We are looking forward to what God has in store this fall as we Apply the Bible, Build Relationships, and Care for Each Other in Community Groups!
