PRE-MEETING (Monday, September 9th)
OUR MISSION

LIFE GROUP UPDATE
Dear Life Group Leaders,
We are gearing up for WEEK ONE of Life Groups! I am excited! I hope you are too. We already have 150 people signed up for our groups and we still have two weeks to go. Wow!
In preparation for your first meeting, here are a few things to keep on your radar:
1) GROUP REMINDERS - In preparation for your first week together, take this week to personally reach out to the members in your group via phone calls or emails (or both!) reminding them that the first meeting will be a 'potluck/social' (most groups start this way, but that is up to you as a Facilitator/Host Team). Don't forget to share your enthusiasm and excitement that they have decided to join your group!
2) SERVE Opportunities:
We love seeing so much excitement for this semester's Serve Projects! I am happy to report that ALL of our groups have already selected their Fall Serve Project! Wow! Please look for an email from Jennifer with more information. If you'd like to see more details about your selected project, feel free to visit our "serve" page at:

5) INVITE Your Friends! There are many ways to invite your friends to join your group. The best way, by far, is a face-to-face invitation. However, you might also consider highlighting your group on social media as a way to generate excitement about your group.
That's it for now!
If you have any comments or questions, please don't hesitate to email or call!
In Christ,
Heather Thomas
