Jesus in the gospel of John.” The discussion guide for the message “The View From The Vineyard” is provided in the link below and the sermon videos are available at www.Christchurchsl.org/sermons. Please be sure to include them in your small group meeting reminder emails. This week’s leader tips are also presented below in the video, audio and text formats.

Leader Tip #1 Church Announcements
Next Sunday, April 29th, the church council meeting will be held in the family life center from 5-7pm while the youth crawfish boil fundraiser is taking place all afternoon and evening. Come for some crawfish, fellowship and to be informed about future plans of Christ Church.
Leader Tip #2 Small Group Leadership Tips
Thus far, the weekly leader tips have focused on announcements or coordinating activities like the use of Realm and handling surveys. However, I’d like to also move into the areas of small group leadership questions that come up which you all might like some direction about. These ongoing small group leadership tips will be brief and to the point and will flow from a question that small group leaders typically have or encounter in their small groups. If you have a small group question that you would like some advice about, please email it to me. Someone else probably has the same question! By addressing it here, we can all benefit in shared ongoing learning together each week.
Also remember, the Small Group Leader’s Equipping Track training sessions from the course that Pastor Temple and I developed and taught this past spring and fall are online at www.smallgroupleaders.net under the name of the course in the drop down menu. Don’t forget to email questions you would like some help with!
Have a great week and meeting as we all strive to stay connected to Christ the true vine who gives us life!
Blessings!
