LIFE Groups, what are they?

L = Locking arms with others that are committed to your small 
       group
I  =  In the Bible and investigating what God has to say to us
F =  Feeding the Need, whatever that may look like
E = Eating together and taking time to invest in others

This is what it looks like to do "LIFE" together.  Pass it along!

SUMMER SEMESTER!

It may be the sun today, but I am thinking about summer and our upcoming summer semester and wanted to give you my ideas of what it will look like!  The theme for summer will be, "God doesn't take summer off, don't miss out!" and I am thinking a beachy look to it all. (Tons of blown up beach balls that people will get for signing up!) 
What does this mean for each of the groups?!?!?!  Fun, casual, groups where people are still getting together even if they are not around to be at church on Sunday, and here are some of my ideas:

Camping Life Group
Rock Bank Life Group
Dinner Life Group
Euchre Life Group
Game Night Life Group
Coffee Life Group
Kids Play Date Life Group

You get the idea, right?  So start thinking about something you enjoy doing in the summer and make it a life group!  Also think about who in your group might be willing to either co-lead with you, or take them under your wing NOW so they can lead(with you watching them and helping when necessary) a summer group!

WEAR EXERCISE CLOTHING TO CHURCH THIS SUNDAY!

Join the new look for The River this weekend by wearing exercise clothing to church! 

Be a part of the "experience" as other's come in and enjoy the theme of the day. 

ENJOY and HAVE FUN WITH IT!  I AM!!

BRUCE BARTON SEMINAR

Bruce Barton is holding a special seminar just for YOU, the leaders in the church!!!



Your attendance is appreciated since this is for YOU! This is not like the one that will be on Sunday for the whole church on how to use an application bible, but it is for leaders like you that need to know how to lead a bible study. If you think you already know how, come anyway, this is a great way to refresh what you know and learn what you may not know.


Saturday, February 20, 2010 (The day before the churchwide one)
The Warehouse
9 am - 11 am


Light Breakfast will be available

This is an invitation only event, and I encourage you to invite the potential leaders in your life group.  These would be the leaders in your group that you are mentoring.  Just let me know how many will be attending with you so we have enough breakfast stuff for everyone.


See you there!
