Dear Small Group Leaders,

                Today is the last sermon-based discussion guide of the season- see attached guide Show Me. 

The sermon videos are also online for viewing at https://www.christchurchsl.org/sermons/.

Thank you for another semester of faithfully offering your group members the opportunity to gather in fellowship and grow through Bible study together!  I hope you all have a wonderful summer and rest up for the another great new fall semester starting the week of August 18^th.  If you have ambitions for more than occasional fellowship meals this summer, there are some video-based study recommendations I could offer you if you wish.  Just email me or call 281-690-4776.

FYI- The Tuesday Morning Discipleship Leader’s Breakfasts are continuing in Jacob’s Well for the coming weeks Tuesdays at 8am.  We have just begun a new book series on 40 Days of Doubt, by Eric Huffman and you all are welcome to join us!   Seehttps://www.amazon.com/40-Days-Doubt-Devotions-Skeptic/dp/1501869132/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?crid=1KW9K7F1MFCH4&keywords=40+days+of+doubt+eric+huffman&qid=1558315094&s=gateway&sprefix=40+days+of+doubt%2Caps%2C389&sr=8-1-fkmrnull.

Have a Blessed Summer Everyone!

Dear Small Group Leaders of Christ Church,

Attached is the sermon discussion guide for this week- Love That Won’t Let Go, Ruth 1:1-22. 

This morning’s messages from Pastor Johnson and Pastor Hall are available at https://www.christchurchsl.org/sermons/. 

            Well friends, our Spring semester of our Neighborhood Small Groups are soon coming to a close as we approach summer break.  Next Sunday is the last discussion guide for the Spring.  Please be in conversation with your small groups this week about any fellowship events you would like to schedule this summer and about when you would like to start your weekly meetings back up in the fall. 

            This Tuesday I will be starting a new series in the Discipleship Leader’s Breakfasts based on the new book 40 Days of Doubt, by Rev. Eric Huffman, the pastor of The Story community at St. Luke’s UMC Houston.  Just come to Jacob’s Well in the Gathering Hall at 8am on Tuesday for a time of coffee and conversation about how to approach thoughtful responses to skeptical questions about our faith.  If you would like a copy for yourself, here’s the link on amazon-  https://www.amazon.com/40-Days-Doubt-Devotions-Skeptic-ebook/dp/B079Q27YVM/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?crid=3NRTVY33YUWP5&keywords=40+days+of+doubt+eric+huffman&qid=1557713734&s=gateway&sprefix=40+days+of+doubt%2Caps%2C346&sr=8-1-fkmrnull

                Thank you all for sharing in this ministry of discipleship that is shaping lives for Christ every week!  You all are a blessing to your group and to Christ Church!

Peace and Grace,
