This sounds like a life insurance sales pitch. It's not. It's more of a life assurance pitch. See what I did there? I know, I know, I’ll keep my day job.
A life group is a small gathering of about eight to twelve people. The focus of the group is to encourage and pray for each other. It’s also an opportunity to discuss the Sunday morning message and dive a bit deeper in to how that message specifically applies to you.
There are many benefits of belonging to a group,
I will only touch on two.
First, a life group puts getting to know people and being known by people on the fast track. Foothills isn’t a mega church, but it’s big enough that you can remain fairly invisible if you wish. During a Sunday morning service, you will be greeted at the door and maybe a few people will say “hi.” If you’re not feeling especially social however, you can walk into the auditorium, find a seat, sing some songs, listen to the message, and leave. You can’t do that in a life group. Actually, you could, but that would be awkward. By virtue of being a small gathering, your participation and interaction is welcomed and encouraged. That’s a good thing.
Truth sticking in your brain.
The second benefit of belonging to a life group relates to how people learn. Information you have an opportunity to talk about, sticks in your brain longer. When you passively hear information and don’t respond to it, write it down or talk about it, there is a good chance you won’t retain that information. It will be out of your mind in a week or two. Probably a day or two. I was being charitable.
No life insurance. Honest.
There are many more benefits, but I think I’ve given you enough information for you to decide to join a life group today. Why not? Click on this link right here: Life Group, I’m Interested! Once you do that, Discipleship Pastor Rob Baddeley will contact you about what the next step is. I promise, he won’t try to sell you life insurance.
