Yeah....pretty big deal from what I understand. Supposed to go on all day...even during group time.
In light of the fact that there is this large distraction running in the background all day tomorrow, the Tuesday night LifeGroup leaders need to help their groups focus. You might tell the group up front that you intend to put the TV on toward the end of your time together and that you can all get an election coverage update then. You may even want to email that out today so that people who are more passionate about up-to-the-minute updates (we all know they do exist!) can be assured that they can deepen their faith and friendships together, and then, as well, stay remain abreast about the next leader of the free world.
Wednesday groups, as well as all the other groups meeting in the weeks to come, remain mindful that there is much passion in this election, and you are bound to have people that are not only opinionated but, based on either outcome, also disappointed. Be sure and steer your group to engage in the political discussions with a view to the great Kingdom of God that supersedes the kingdoms of men. This isn't passivism- this is the hope to which we cling and live- regardless of who's sworn in this January!
