LIFE GROUP UPDATE
Greetings Life Group Leaders!
Week 1 is in the books. How did it go? I hope it was a wonderful start!
Some of you have already started sharing your first meeting moments with us on Facebook. This means the #CRCLifeGroups challenge is officially underway. The more you post the more opportunities your group has to win social time on us!
Here are a few key things covered in this edition of Leaders Weekly:
- Attendance Submissions
- SERVE Projects
- Social Media (#HashTag) Challenge
- Covenants
- Leaders Tools
In Christ,
Heather Thomas
THINGS TO REMEMBER
ATTENDANCE SUBMISSIONS:
Almost every group submitted their attendance this week! Way to go! If you need help taking attendance, please don't hesitate to call me.
SERVE PROJECTS:
You're signed up! All 13 groups have signed up for their Spring Semester Serve Project. THANK YOU! If you haven't already, you should receive an email from Jennifer in the near future with more details about your SERVE Project. We ask that everyone in your group wears their SERVE Shirt. If someone in your group needs a SERVE Shirt please let Sharon know their shirt size so that she can get them to you.
SOCIAL MEDIA CHALLENGE:
Remember to share your photos on Social Media with #CRCLifeGroups to be entered for a $250 gift card drawing! Even a single entry could win the gift card for your Life Group.
You may also upload any additional Serve & Social Photos directly to the link below:

GOALS FOR THIS WEEK
- Relationships! - Consider spending at least 15 minutes in the beginning of your meeting to get to know one another.
- Prayer - Whether you decide to pray in the earlier part of the meeting or at the end, make sure to keep prayer time a priority. Thank God for how he has brought your group together.
- Homework - Dive deeper into your discussions by taking advantage of the Leader Tools (Written & Audio Guides).
- Serve Projects - If you haven't already, give your group the necessary details so they can put it on their calendar.
