Summer Small Groups

Summer is coming! For most of you, that means no classes, some trips to the beach, relaxing with friends, or working to save some cash for next school year. But we want to encourage you to make this summer focused on growing your relationship with God. Put Him first. Spend time with Him every day in prayer and studying the Word.

To help you achieve this we are starting small groups this summer. All groups will study John Piper's Don't Waste Your Life. This study calls you to a different kind of Christianity; one that lives for God's glory and fame before anything else. The typical American Christianity won't cut it.

Details will be coming with who is leading groups on specific days, so stay tuned. You can pick your leader and/or day that fits your schedule.

Small Groups!

We are starting up our small groups for the fall, so if you are interested, email/Facebook Scott or me. We need to know your contact info and days of the week and/or times that you are available, or if you are super-busy, the days and/or times you are NOT available.

The main goal of our small groups this year will be to dig in and really learn and cultivate what it means to "Live to Love" God. Our desire is for you to treasure Christ in your heart as highest and best (as we stumble along attempting to do the same!) We do this by praying through Scripture and daily seeking God in His Word.

Small groups will be small, probably just 2-4 people, but if you have a friend that you want to be in a group with, just let us know that as well. The groups will meet according to everyone's availability, either once a week or once every other week.

Oh yeah, side note, Shades Mountain Independent has a new website:

www.smic.org

so check it out! Sermons are available on podcast, there's a calendar of church-wide events, listing of staff, etc. There's also a nifty thing for official members to sign in and create their very own profile for the church site, kinda like a mini-Facebook for our church. If you are a member, sign up!

And, side note #2: Don't forget about Adoration this Sunday and the time change to 5:30 PM!

We also could use some help in set-up/tear-down, so if you are available Sunday afternoon and/or after the service, contact Jarrod at jarrod@jarrodjones.com.
