Week of August 21, 2022
Hi friends, 
 
Wasn't Sunday a great day?!? I always love promotion Sunday in August (even though our adults don't promote). I love seeing the many smiling faces as we get ready for the fall semester. As I think back over the past year, I want to mention how thankful I am for each one of you serving as leaders. I'm thankful for you - welcoming guests with open arms, making phone calls and checking on those in need, teaching and discipling each other, creating new groups, and this past Sunday helping with the breakfast tacos. Thank you for loving our God and each other well. 

37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’  Matthew 22:37-39

One last reminder - if you are planning on attending our next Life Group Leader Gathering on Friday, August 19 then please sign up as soon as possible. Click here to RSVP. It will be from 6:00 - 9:00 pm at McLane Stadium in the Suite Lounge. If you have signed up to come then you will receive an email from me concerning doors to enter. 

 
Blessings,



RE | ENGAGE MARRIAGE MINISTRY  | STARTS AUGUST 28
This is an amazing ministry that focuses on reconnecting, reigniting, and even resurrecting marriages. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been married, we can always use the encouragement and reminders of how to care for and love our spouses well. This ministry offers hope to marriages by helping couples move toward oneness through stories of grace, teaching, and small groups.

Re|Engage will meet Sunday evenings from 5:30 – 7:00 pm. Meeting dates run August 28 – November 20 (not meeting September 4) and childcare is provided. Registration is open and you can sign up here. Contact Elizabeth Oates at eoates@firstwoodway.org for more information.

ATTENDANCE:
Please remember to turn in your attendance each week promptly after your Life Group. Thanks for doing this each week! You guys are awesome! 

LG BOXES IN 212:
This week, here are some things that will be in your box for you to share with your LG:

  • A copy of this week's Life Group leader email will be in your box.

CURRICULUM:
Curriculum for the fall is finally available in the Life Group Leader office (Room 212 - 2nd floor). If you need a digital copy (I ordered a limited number) then let me know and I will send you access to it. If you would like to see the Scripture verses for the summer, head to the LG Leader Resource page. We will add fall verses soon. 

ROOM RESERVATIONS:
If you would like to reserve a room for a Life Group gathering on campus outside of your normal Sunday mornings time, then please email Carrie at cburrows@firstwoodway.org. I will then forward on to the appropriate staff member. 

PRAY FOR OUR SCHOOLS
There are Back to School activities on VOMO if you would like to volunteer or serve at any of them. Please take time this month during Life Group to pray for our administrators, teachers, faculty, parents, and students at all of our local schools. Pray God's protection over them and a joy of learning rather than fear. Pray Christian teachers and students would be bold in sharing the gospel.
