Weekly Update
Hey there Leaders!
I hope the week is going well for you guys. I’m hearing great reports of groups kicking off, having great “first meetings,” going through the Group Commitments document, talking about B.L.E.S.S., and even more. Way to go, and thanks for your leadership!
As you’re leading through the semester, don’t forget you have spiritual authority to guide and lead your people towards things like:
- Have they made the decision to be a Partner with Parkway? If not, have they taken the time to attend Discover Parkway?
- Have they started engaging with the church in serving?
- Have they explored a regular pattern of giving as a form of worship?
- Have they had the opportunity to experience discipleship, particular through our model of 1:1 or small group discipleship content?
We’re still a week away from our September ALL-TOGETHER “Genuine Life” series on Ephesians 1-3, starting the week of September 22nd. During this series we’ll be providing a discussion guide to go along with each message. Each week will cover 1/2 of a chapter, beginning with the first half of Ephesians 1. Let me know if I can answer any questions for you!
Another commitment we discussed at Momentum was across the month of September, could you begin to settle in on a group roster, and if you’re able to access Planning Center, could you update your group roster in there? If you can’t figure out that access, Danilove and I can help. But knowing the names of who’s coming to your group (and how many people are in groups) is really helpful to us!
Don’t forget for our September and October Connect meetings, we’re going to flip into 1st service (9:15am), so we can help accommodate the Embrace Grace/Life ministries that also use the Swenson house. So plan ahead! Plus I know there’s a few leaders (and spouses) that serve during the 11:00 hour, so these months might make it possible for them to join us! That will be September 29th and October 27th. Save the dates!
Thanks for all you do in group leadership!
