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 6 weeks away, beginning on Sunday, September 17th.
We'll be meeting for 9 weeks, from September 17th to November 18th.
Group Leader Kickoff
Before our Fall Trimester begins, we'll all meet up together on Sunday night, September 10th, for our Re:Group Leader Kickoff.
At Re:Group we'll be addressing a tension we may all feel a times:
How do we make space for new people to our group without ruining our group?
Our church is growing, and many people have yet to connect with a group.
While we want to make space for new people to connect in groups, we don't want to make it harder for our current group members to connect.
How do we get new people to join our group?
What if our group is already too large?
What if we don't want to multiply our group into 2 groups?
What if we want to start a new group, but don't know how?
How do we provide community for everyone, without killing community?
We'll meet from 5:00pm-7:15pm with dinner, childcare, and breakouts all designed to answer those questions and more.
Look for more details soon.
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 (New Brighton Group?)
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!
