Small Groups Newsletter		July 2008
In an effort to strengthen communication with the leaders and members of our small groups, there will be a meeting for small group leaders on Sunday, July 27th, at 7pm. The purpose of this meeting will be to give you an opportunity to discuss with other groups what is going well, what could be improved in your group, and get some ideas to improve your group. A meeting like this is like workout in the body of Christ. By communicating together we become stronger. Stronger Body of Christ, the greater kingdom impact we will have in our community.

What was your favorite olympic moment? If you could compete in any olympic sport, what would it be? If you could improve one thing at Bethel, what would it be? Why? What is one idea/solution to Question #3? (feel free to share this idea with your favorite staff member/council member) Where did you see God at work in your life in the last week?
