Dear Discipleship Group Leaders,
Attached is the discussion guide for Sunday’s message Don’t Miss Him based on 1 Peter 1:3-9 for your personal reflections or use by your online or over the phone group meetings this week.
The sermon is available at www.christchurchsl.org/sermons and if you would like to see the whole service, you can click on the livestream page and the recording will play- see www.christchurchsl.org/livestream. FYI- the virtual Christ Church choir is worth seeing the whole service link in case you missed it!
Also, this link is also a great tool for inviting friends or neighbors (or others regardless of where they live) to online church through a text message, email or social media post. This is a unique time in which it is really easy to invite others and easy them to attend from the comfort and familiar setting of their own homes.
Leader Tips:
- Please let me know if you would like help getting connected for online video meetings or over the telephone meetings while we are limited from meeting together in a home or room. Its not as hard as you may be thinking it is.
- Please share the online prayer request link with your group members so that they can connect their requests with our prayer teams as they would like to. Seehttps://www.christchurchsl.org/prayer-care/. The pastors are also informed of the requests posted here by members.
- We are still learning and responding to the news of how our nation and state would have us take care not to spread the virus. The mid-week email is the best place to learn updates on church activities, anyone can subscribe here – https://www.christchurchsl.org/1595-2/
- Pastor Temple’s daily devotionals during this time are available at the church Facebook page or at www.chappelltemple.com
- For missions opportunities see https://www.christchurchsl.org/covid-19-response/. Also, right now masks are being made and collected for child protective services and the city of Sugar Land- seehttps://www.christchurchsl.org/event/homemade-masks-needed/?event_date=2020-04-22. Links to videos about how to make masks are available at the first link- covid-19-response.
- Please let me know if there are people in your groups who are in need of prayer or a call from a pastor.
Thank you all for your continued participation and leadership in the discipleship ministries of Christ Church however you and your group prefer to connect with each other. May the peace and power of the risen Christ be with you, your families and your discipleship communities friends.
Your Co-worker in Christ,
