With the ever expanding need to add more
LIFEgroups, we are holding a no obligation
introduction to “How to Lead a LIFEgroup.”
It will be held on February 16 from 6:30 to

education wing by the church office).
Topics to be discussed are Spiritual
Qualifications, Has God Designed You for
This, Prayer: A Portal to Worship,
Facilitating a LIFEgroup session,
Shepherding People. Perhaps God has
been tugging at your heart to step out of
your comfort zone to consider shepherding
a community of believers. Here is an
opportunity to learn more about taking the
next step.
Contact Pastor Scott at
wskappes@cedarcrestbfc.org to sign up for
this no obligation introduction. If you are
interested but this date does not work for

advance for considering LIFEgroup ministry.
