Dear Central Family,
For the last couple of weeks, we have been talking about the importance of Life Groups as a means for growing in relationship with each other and with God. You’ve been given the brochure listing 35 groups that you can choose from, including, for example, groups for women, men, and married couples, groups meeting on Sunday mornings, groups meeting at church during the week, and home based groups! We hope that you have taken the time to think through these opportunities and get connected during this fall semester. Although some groups have started already, most groups will begin this weekend, and the semester will end in mid December. Registration will continue through October 3rd. We encourage you to commit to trying a Life Group this fall semester!
One option for you to consider that make work for many of you is to get connected in a Life Group is on Sunday mornings. Quality childcare and children’s programs are available both hours for children up through fifth grade. In addition, your teenager will want to connect in a student life group meeting at 9:30 each Sunday morning. Sunday mornings are a great time for families to worship together during one hour, and then connect in smaller groups during the other hour to dig deeper into God’s word and learn how to apply it to their life! Sunday morning Life Groups start this Sunday, September 26th.
For your ease of reference, I have listed the Sunday morning Life Groups here. To signup, just visit www.worshipatcentral.org and click on “Get Connected”, then “Life Groups” and find your group! Or, you are welcome to sign up for the group when you come this Sunday. So far over 230 people have signed up to be a part of a LIFE GROUP. Do not miss out on this opportunity to connect in meaningful relationships with other believers! We all need each other!
See you Sunday!
Pastor
