The LIFEGroup Survey will be available December 4. Your group members can complete it on-line or we can provide paper copies. Our goal is to have every member of every LIFEGroup complete this survey! Thank you in advance for your participation!

Every Sunday this January, we will be holding two open forums for LIFEGroup drivers. These will provide you with the opportunity to ask questions, make suggestions, share ideas, and hear David talk about the future of LIFEGroups at Calvary. We anticipate these meetings being a fruitful time of sharing and building into one another. Week One: David will talk about where we’ve been, what we’ve accomplished and will discuss what it means to be “formative, caring, and missional.” You will be given the opportunity to share stories of success from your own group experience. Together, we’ll begin talking about expectations for LIFEGroup drivers and LIFEGroup members. Week Two: We’ll have an extended Q&A time, allowing everyone opportunity to ask whatever questions may be pertinent to their situation. We’ll also continue our discussion of expectations. Week Three: We’ll spend a good deal of time talking about struggles, disappointments, and frustrations. We’ll try to find ways we can

What are their names? What is your favorite ____ ? (Food, Restaurant, Vacation, etc.) Where have you lived before you lived here? What places have you visited ?

Luke 10:1-11. 1After this the Lord appointed seventy-two[a] others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. 2He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. 3Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. 4Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road. 5"When you enter a house, first say, 'Peace to this house.' 6If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you. 7Stay in that house, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages.
