Leaders Meeting on 30 April 2007

Here are some of the topics discussed at the meeting:

• Upcoming Dates to Remember

  Sat., May 5, 2007 - Baptism in the Spirit Training Seminar - 9am to 1pm at the NC4 Building - Please encourage your group members who need to learn more about or may want to experience the Baptism of the Holy Spirit to attend this session.

  Monday, August 13, 2007 - Leaders Meeting - This will be the Prep meeting for the Fall Small Group Expo and preparing for the increased activity of groups in the Fall.

  Sat./Sun., Sept. 15/16, 2007 - Small Group Expo - This will be the weekend when the services will include a message on Christian Community and the Body of Christ. It will then be followed by a time of fellowship and an exposition of all the available small groups. The leaders are encouraged to make their group displays interesting, including paraphenalia that represents the plans for the group. Click here for more Expo Prep details.

• Need for Summer Groups - Since many groups go on break or a reduced schedule over the summer, it is a season that is hard for new people to connect. Prayfully consider options for your group for the summer that will continue to allow for new people to join in. There may even be a few groups running for just the summer months.

• Small Group Liaisons - Small group liaisons (support people for group leaders) have not yet been set up. Stay tuned. We are currently expecting to have them in place by the Fall small group season.

• Identifying Potential Leaders - If you have noted people in your group with leadership potential, but have not yet talked to them about it, please submit their names to Andy and Bob. They will approach these people and invite them to consider ministering as group leaders / facilitator.
