Life Group Central

This is a great opportunity for your life group to serve!

Saturday, October 27, is the first fall Shoreline Outreach project.  We will be partnering with First United Methodist Church of Niceville to help with a project called Supper On Saturday (SOS).  We’ll meet at the Spence Apfel building in Niceville (on Hwy 20 where Niceville meets Valparaiso) around 1:15 on Saturday and put fruit cups, meat, spoons, napkins, a scripture, bread, and a dessert in plastic bags.  Then we’ll break up into groups and deliver the food to local people who live in subsidized housing.  Shoreline has helped with this project once before and it was a lot of fun.  We will be done around 4:00.

Please encourage the members of your life group to serve on October 27th.  Contact Nell for more information at (205) 908-5989.  Thanks in advance!

Hey, ladies!  You should have received your invitation to the next Shine brunch, which will be held Saturday, October 6 (9:30-11:30 AM).  Please try your best to be there!  Also, encourage the ladies in your life groups [WHO SERVE AT SHORELINE in any capacity] to join you.  Your personal invitation may make all the difference to them.  We’re going to watch a great video by Christine Caine, plus we have some other cool stuff planned.  Please bring a dish to share.  I think I may bring peaches & cream pie.  - Lori

Please take time to “study” the attached life group menu: Fall 2007 Life Group Menu  As a life group leader, it’s important that you’re aware of what else is available in the church.  For example, if a new mom attends your Bible study, you may recommend that she visit the Fun in the Son group.  Or if a mom attending Fun in the Son is having issues with her hubby, you may want to tell her about the marriage group.  Or if you make a new friend, you may want to invite them to Game Night with you.  The examples are endless!  And this doesn’t just apply to Shoreline members or people already attending a life group with you.  You can invite non-church friends or co-workers, as well.  Remember, personal invitations are key to getting people involved!  In fact, this Sunday (Sept 9) would be a fantastic day to invite your friends to church.  The message will focus on our relationships with each other.  Plus, you KNOW the videos on Get Life Day are always fun to watch!  See you guys there!

Get Life Day is coming soon!  September 9th, to be exact.  Are you excited?  You should be!  Start talking about your group now to generate interest.  It’s not too early to invite people!
