Hello Team WAIO,
What an exciting time at WAIO! We are simply in the hands of the Holy Spirit and will continue to seek Him and His will for the future. We are embracing the ramifications of our little fire and our relocation to TAMA Hall where another little “fire” started a little over nine years ago.
Regarding our small groups for this “season,” I encourage you all to be flexible and available for whatever the Spirit might lead to do. Our plans call for a concentrated effort during Easter to group around the book and six-week preaching series called The Prodigal God by Timothy Keller.
I will operate on the assumption that all the groups from the Fall Season will continue to meet as they did in the Fall schedule, with the same basic focus, location, target group, childcare conditions, and time and frequency of meeting. This info is available to the public through www.wordalive.org. You may want to check the listing for your group and confirm that the info is correct.
The exception here is for those of you who led L.I.F.E. (Living in Freedom Everyday) groups. We will not re-launch this series until the Fall of 2010. We all were tremendously blessed by the series and the Retreat Weekend, but we could not discern a way to promote and complete the 12-15 week cycle for L.I.F.E. while also promoting a church-wide grouping campaign around The Prodigal God.
I encourage those of you who did lead the L.I.F.E. groups to continue to meet during this spring season on some regular schedule and prepare to embrace a leadership roll in the Prodigal God small group emphasis. You will want to identify some within you group who can host the six-week small group during the Easter season (April 4- May 9) and encourage them to do so.
We will sponsor a training and orientation (about 30 minutes) which will give you the basics on how to host a group, get you your material, and get the info on the "who, what, when, and where" of your group meeting. Orientations are scheduled for:
Sunday, February 28 at 6:00 pm in Connection Classroom 102
Wednesday, March 3 at 7:00 pm in the Connection Classroom 102
Sunday, March 7 at 11:30am and 1:00pm in the Connection Classroom 102
Thank you again for your prayer, support, service, gifts, and anointing. The small group leader, moving in the Spirit, is an essential key to sustained spiritual impact! You are at the right place, at the right time - connecting to God, people, and purpose.
Please feel free to contact me for clarification or counsel. Continue in prayer and I know we will see extraordinary advances in the spiritual realm. Be blessed!
