EASTER + MILK-TO-MEAT LAUNCH
SPRING 2019 - 7 APR 20192019 SPRING PREVIEW
Apr 7-21: Easter season – Pray for all boldness
April 7th: Jason will be preaching Acts 4:23-31 as part of our Kingdom Advance series. One particular gripping point of this text is the prayer of the disciples in verse 29: “Grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness”. Let’s be honest, we all often lack boldness in sharing our faith, but the starting point isn’t to psych ourselves up to become bold…The starting point is to pray to God to give us boldness. This is the focus of our Easter campaign from April 7th to April 29th: To PRAY for “all boldness”.
April 7th – 21st: Two ways we can lead our small groups:
I. Take a break from regular curriculum. If you do meet, meet to pray like the disciples in Acts 4:23-31. Our singular goal is to pray for “all boldness”
II. Lead your people to the prayer meeting on April 14th. If there is one rallying point that we want our church to rally at, it is our April 14th prayer meeting. When the disciples prayed in Acts 4, the whole gathering place shook and they were filled with the Holy Spirit to speak with boldness. God’s power is still at work today…so we must pray.
Apr 22-June 30: Spring Semester –
Milk-to-Meat LAUNCH!
April 3-21 : Individual Consultation calls with Andrew and Coaches. During these calls, we’ll help you:
1) Choose a MODULE: Consult with your coaches to discern the spiritual life-stage of your group (see lifecycle above). What do they need more grounding in? Is it time to start being equipped to SHARE? Ultimately, what module should your group go through this term?
2) Choose a STUDY: Once you’ve discerned your MODULE, you can choose a corresponding book or video study to go through with your groups. This will start you on your way to moving from milk to meat along the discipleship lifecycle.
April 11 – May 2: ZOOM “Drop-in” Hour with Andrew
I (Andrew) want to do better in communicating with you all by giving supplemental coaching and a more frequent listening ear, especially as we launch the Milk-to-Meat model. As such, I’ll be starting holding ZOOM “drop-in” hours every Thursday from 12 – 1pm until May 2nd. During this time, I’m excited to listen to how you and your group is doing, answer any questions if needed and ultimately pray on your behalf to our all-powerful God.
So, drop into the ZOOM video conference simply by clicking here. For more detailed instructions, click here.
May 3 – June 30: ZOOM Ongoing Development
As per our last SGL workshop (see recap here), we are convinced that the key to true vulnerability in breakout times is a Worship-based, Spirit-led, Scripture-fed prayer culture. To this end, we want to offer a time for us to complete the “Leading Life-Giving Prayer Times” training by Daniel Henderson. This will be a time of practical skill development, filled with hands-on practice of leading prayer.
There will be 3 bi-weekly options (each option lasts 4 sessions):
1) 8-9pm Thursday starting May 9,
2) 12-1pm Friday starting May 3
3) 6:30-7:30am Friday starting May 3
Click here to secure your spot in one of these options. I’m taking a “groupon” approach to this one: As long as there are 3 or more people signed up for an option, that option is a GO!
