Last week I sent you a Christmas letter thanking you for all your service to help people experience Discipleship, Community and Service via LifePoint. Enclosed in the letter was a refrigerator magnet to remind you of a valuable resource called GroupLeader.org. Please go register today to receive the weekly email pack with helpful info for you the Small Group Leader. http://www.groupleader.org/
Second, I requested that you subscribe to my blog where every Thursday I share stories, insights and principles about Small Groups and neighborhood that others have found to be helpful. http://eddiemosley.com/
Thirdly, we have a 4 week class designed especially for Small Group Leaders that will help you when someone in your group is seeking to become a Christ-follower. Share Jesus’ Influence, Wednesdays @ LifePoint, 6:30-7:30pm. Please register for this class at http://lifepointchurch.org/wednesdays. Some have said this should be a required class for Small Group Leaders. I’m not saying that it is required, but I do feel you should be ready when someone in your group asks, “How can I be saved?”.
Thanks again for all you do. These three opportunities will really help you serve at the next level.
