Planning Ahead For The Holidays
We have 1 more week until our Fall Community Group Trimester ends (November 23).
Start thinking now what it will look like to connect before groups begin again in the new year (January 12).
Will your group do a Friendsgiving Dinner, Christmas Party, Serving Project, Men's or Women's night? Something else?
Put a date on the calendar before the Fall Trimester ends, otherwise connecting during break will get lost in the holiday shuffle.
All-Play Group Discussion (February 16 - March 15)
Starting February 16th, we'll be doing a 4-week sermon series teaching our church Biblical principles on money management.
88% of American's have significant struggles with money.
Because this is such a huge issue in our culture, we would like all Community Groups to address this topic during the 4-week series.
We wanted to let you know now as you plan ahead for discussions in the Winter Trimester.
More details to come.

We serve a God of ABUNDANCE, who always provides for all of our needs. Savings groups help churches around the world to TAKE ACTION again crushing multidimensional poverty and bring hope to Christians around the world that God has not forgotten their prayers!
