Tuesday night we had a refreshing time of worship. Many thanks to the leaders who prioritised this time and joined us. I wonder if you have ever considered these words from the Lord to the Samaritan woman. God seeks (searches out) genuine, unpolluted, unforced worship. As Leaders we worship out of our 'being' it is what we are before what we do! I feel this is the best 'Leadership development' for us. Are you on this 'journey' of worship? - as you can't take people where you have not been yourself in Kingdom life.
We also read John Chapter 10 again, the great 'Shepherding' discourse from Jesus. 'I am the good shepherd' I encourage all our leaders to familiarize themselves with this passage as I believe it is the definitive leadership model for us as NT believers. Its metaphor is rich with meaning and application to the life of the developing shepherd of God's people.
Some general issues around small groups were:
-August is our 'difficult questions' month we have two sessions 8 & 22nd I will post session notes up to the web asap.
-We will be launching the 'Extraordinary' series on Sept 19th - this is our combined service day.-All groups are required to get numbers in for their 'Extraordinary' workbooks asap to Kathy Barlow @ Grace office.
-The next Small groups LD night is as per the calendar for 2010. (Tues Oct 12th 7-8:30 Grace Cafe')
-The next Area leaders meeting is on Sept 26th 12:30 in the Auditorium Creche
We had about 24 leaders away on Tues night and many of you did not rsvp. I am asking you to prioritise these LD nights as a rule, or at least inform if you cant make it - this is a courtesy to me, and a key leadership criteria.
Have a great term 3 and remember my door is always open & my ear always available.
Kind regards,
Ps Rhett
Small groups coordinator
