3-1-20 Sermon Discussion Guide & Leader Tips

Dear Discipleship Group Leaders and Teachers of Christ Church,

     I am sending out this week’s sermon discussion guide email to more than just the small group leaders this week, just to touch base with all our group leaders during this season of Lent.  Even if your group does not normally use the sermon discussion guides for your group curriculum, you may find it helpful or useful for personal use or informal conversations with other friends from church.  See attached. 

Remember, the sermon videos, in case you missed them are available at www.christchurchsl.org/sermons.
