If you've been part of a Life Group, you know what a rewarding, fulfilling and maturing experience it can be. Joining others each week to share, pray, study the Word and just share life together is a remarkable thing, and the sense of belonging that we develop is critical to the health of every person.
You probably also know that my heart's desire is to see as many folks enjoy this community aspect of church life as possible, and it will come as no surprise to you that we are working hard to make such an opportunity as widely available as possible here at Desert Springs.
In January, Pastor Mark will speak on groups, community and connecting for several weeks, and at the same time, we will hold open sign-ups for new groups to run in February and March for 8 weeks. Our goal is to have at least 10 new groups when we hold those sign-ups, so that we can accommodate as many people as possible for that eight week period.
To that end, I have been making phone calls for several days now, asking certain people to prayerfully consider being a Life Group Leader during that eight weeks. We are making it simple for them to do, with very little time commitment needed, and meeting guides provided by us, based on Pastor Mark's sermons.
Please join with me in praying that God would raise up the leaders we need for this effort! It will be the first time ever that we have attempted something like this, but I believe it is God's will that we help more people find significant relationships in the church family through which they can grow and mature in their faith!
Thanks!
