Weekly Update

Hey there Life Group Leaders! Thanks to all who joined us for Connect this past week. It was a great conversation as we prepare for the upcoming fall semester, including some pieces on how to Communicate effectively with out groups and others. Here’s some helpful things to know this week…

1. For the next LG Discussion Guide for our “Life of David” series studying across 1 & 2 Samuel, please access it through the message notes in the app or on the media page of the website.

2. August 23rd will be our afternoon of Momentum training. This is an annual event where everyone serving at Parkway on any capacity of ministry team is invited and encouraged to join. We’ll meet 3:00pm as a large group in the worship center, then at 4:00pm we’ll split into our Life Group breakout time. That will be a great chance to talk the next ministry year, so please make it a priority to join! If you serve on multiple ministry teams, we can talk about the best strategy for you – prioritizing Student Ministry and Kids Ministry. If you’re coming to Momentum – especially if you want to utilize free childcare – would you register HERE? Thanks!

3. Looking out a little further, we wanted you to have the heads up – this fall we will continue a trend we’ve done in previous years of opening the ministry year with a Coordinated Study. In that season we ask all Life Groups to participate in this study alongside the whole church as part of a church-wide conversation. Please make it a priority for your group content. The dates will be: the week of September 27th – November 15th. That will leave a little time beforehand in September and a few weeks afterward at the end of the semester for other topics if you so choose. The content will be going through the book of Colossians – a great epistle study! Thanks for planning ahead to join together with us.

4. I’ve confirmed a few dates. The “official” first week of the fall semester – especially impacting on-campus groups using church childcare – will be the week of September 6th. The final week will be the week of December 6th. As always, you are welcome to start or finish a week or two in either direction, but let’s try to all be launching by early September! And regarding the end of the semester, the Women’s Christmas Event will be Friday, Dec. 11th.

Thank you for all your leadership!
