			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>George Gallup has said, &#8220;Americans are among the loneliest people in the world.&#8221; How can it be possible to feel lonely in the midst of busy lives and overcommitted schedules? Because we&#8217;re a culture craving relationship. Meaningful relationships are found in Life Groups. If you haven&#8217;t joined a Life Group, I encourage you to. The next Get Life Day is September 7th and the fall Life Groups will be announced at that time. If you&#8217;re interested in leading a Life Group, call me (217-9495) to discuss options. The church has Bible studies available on DVD, if you&#8217;d like to borrow them to lead a group.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our Sunday morning attendance has doubled since May of last year. Our life group attendance has stayed about the same.</p>
<p><strong>Average Weekly Attendance:</strong><br />
Spring 2007 &#8211; 147<br />
Summer 2007 &#8211; 99<br />
Fall 2007 &#8211; 148<br />
Spring 2008 &#8211; 142</p>
<p>A slight dip in the summer is to be expected, but I&#8217;m a bit surprised that our life group attendance hasn&#8217;t grown this spring. Between both Sunday morning services and the Tuesday night service, we have about 600 people attending church services each week. That means that less than 1/3 of the people who attend church also attend a life group. Our goal is 2/3 and we&#8217;re not even close to attaining that goal!</p>
<p>Do y&#8217;all have any ideas you&#8217;d like to share about how to get new people involved in life groups?</p>
