Celebrate!!!

This Sunday is all about celebrating God and what He has done in our community over the last year. There will be some stories about what God has done and what we get to be part of because of our community's faith that He is worth our trust in everything.

If you've been with your group for a while, this would be a fantastic opportunity to share over communion what God has done and what you've experienced and learned over the last year. As you eat the bread and drink the cup as a LifeGroup, thank God for all that's been walked through, all you've become as individuals and as a community, and over all that- for His invitation through Christ's sacrifice, into His Kingdom.

If you're still in Beta, you are getting ready to covenant together. This may be a great opportunity to not only talk about the stories and challenge shared Sunday morning, but to dream ahead of what you're hoping to learn, experience and become as a LifeGroup in the year to come.

If a study time fits, you may benefit from reading and discussing Acts chapters 1 and 2, exploring how Luke describes what God had done in the recent past, how it affected the present and totally paved the future. Jesus' resurrection, charge to His followers, ascension, and the transformed community of believers that resulted, multiplied in every sense of the term as they took the story forward in themselves and the world. What are the implications for your LifeGroup, Crosspointe, and the Kingdom at large in 2008/2009? 

Your group members may not even recognize there are implications unless you discuss them and chase them down, together.
