See You AFTER the Pole this weekend!

Hey small group leaders....

What a cool time last Sunday night. Thank you, thank you, thank you for connecting with students. I am sorry that your groups have been so large, but on the other hand...can you believe how many students are turning out. I can't wait to see how this thing continues to unfold. It's cool and scary all at the same time.

Here is a bit of encouragement (I hope). God has wired you uniquely, and he has wired every one of these students uniquely as well. As these initial groups form over the next few weeks, and we lock in with some students, try to keep that in mind. Some of your experiences in life (both the good and the bad ones) can, and probably will be used by God to encourage a student who is wired in a similar way to you. Thank God that some of those experiences can finally be put to use!

THIS WEEK--"See you AFTER the Pole"--At least Nine churches so far will be bringing students to our community wide worship gathering for middle school and high school students. We WILL NOT be having small groups this week, but we are asking that you still be there to help with crowd control and to encourage and connect with our WCC students. This could be the largest worship gathering of students this community has ever seen. We will resume our regular schedule October 2nd.

October 2nd--Please get us requests that you might have for students to be in your small group (or NOT in your small group) IMMEDIATELY. We are going to start the process of placing students in groups very shortly and want to attempt to honor your requests if possible. October 2nd will be the first night we meet as "official small groups". You will get a list of the students you have before that Sunday night (how soon before is yet to be determined).

Lastly(and most importantly), I hope your journey with God is going well. This life with God is a journey and it has ups and downs. As we unfold this Podcast (spiritual Discipline) thing with students, I hope you are finding time to engage as well. (Actually, you'll probably never find the time...you just have to take it). Here's a link to my blog site where I am trying to encourage students as I engage with these disciplines. (http://scottiegreene.blogspot.com/) I hope that you find it encouraging as well. I am praying for you and your journey with God. See you on Sunday.

In Christ,

Scott
