One of the best ways to build relationships is to get together and have fun. That's all that's on the agenda for the Connection Weekend on May 30 - June 1. Will you help us by participating and inviting others in your Journey group or circle of friends?

Headline News - week 2 of 12 - 5/12/14

OFF AND RUNNING
Thanks to everybody who made the Summer Trimester launch last Wednesday successful. Please bring your Journey notebooks every week and get back in the groove of  weekly meeting & coaching call, and are tracking along with their online curriculum and fill-in-the-blank worksheets.

CURRICULUM ACCESS
2 easy as pie options:

1. The CLC App - Just click the Journey tab and get it to go on your mobile device. Click here.
2. Login to the church web site and be taking directly to your curriculum matrix. Click here and enter the login ID = journeystudent and password = purpose

DC GROUPS NEW MEETING LOCATIONS
Dale & Christy and I are trusting that your new meeting space will work out fine for you. Thank you for your flexibility and positive attitude! Report any problems to your coaching captain.

TRIMESTER GOALS WORKSHEETS
Every member of each coaching group is expected to complete the Trimester Goals Worksheet. It is due this Wednesday but you can have one more week if needed.

Students, please do not skip this step. How will we know if you are growing spiritually if we cannot measure it? Are you making progress through the Big 5? Are you working with your coach to shore up any areas involving freedom, bad habits, establish new good habits, reading the Word more consistently, tithing, or receiving your prayer language? Please don't let this year be ordinary! You have been given an extraordinary opportunity to go as far as you want to go spiritually with the Lord and establish a super rock solid foundation.

But, the opportunity of a lifetime must be seized within the lifetime of the opportunity.

You can view and print the Trimester Goals Worksheet at this link.

DISCIPLESHIP EVANGELISM
Here's what was going on in the sanctuary last week while you were meeting in your coaching groups.

Last week, John King did a fabulous job introducing us to the Discovery Bible Study method that is revolutionizing the way people are sharing the gospel and making disciples - even among those that are illiterate.

John introduced 8 questions to us that you can use revolving around a single Bible passage with a small group of pre-saved people:

1. What happened last week for which you are thankful?

2. What challenge are you facing in your life, family, or community?

3. How did you obey, share and/or meet the need (not asked during the first session).

Take a passage and READ, RE-TELL, & TALK DETAILS

4. What do we learn about God in this passage?

5. What do we learn about humanity in this passage?

6. How will your life change when you put this passage into practice? (Answers will start with "I
will...")

7. Who else do you know who needs to hear this passage?

8. How can we help with one challenge?  (see #2)


CONNECTION WEEKEND
Mark your calendars to come together as a church family on Friday (5/30), SAT (5/31), and SUN (6/1) for our Connection Weekend. This is a brand spanking new concept where we are hosting multiple activities this weekend to get us laughing, playing, and eating together as a community.

Watch for announcements & more details and sign ups on the web site.

Best!

Headline News - 5/5/14 - week 1 of 12

SUMMER TRIMESTER LAUNCH
Ready or not here we go! Game on! This WED, May 7th begins our Summer Trimester. We have 7 discipleship coaching groups resuming their weekly Journey meetings. For now, meet in the sanctuary for worship as usual at 6:30pm.

NEW DISCIPLESHIP COACHING MEETING LOCATIONS
As Pastor Ron announced, in the Year of Missions, our summer will look slightly different than in times past. Pastor Ron will be featuring some of his fellow pastors in town to come in to guest speak on a variety of topics relating to discipleship & missions. Given that the sanctuary will no longer be available this year for our discipleship coaching groups to meet, we have made provision for our groups to meet in the following areas starting this WED:

MAIN CHURCH BUILDING
Room 105 - Amanda Carroll's group
Room 106 - Cheryl Snyder's group

CLC HOUSE – LOWER LEVEL
Larry Wiley – front part of the big room (nearest the TV)
Chris Muller – back part of the big room (nearest the front door)
Mike Dugan – Kitchen table area
Adam Lindsay – Abbey Kairdolf’s office (has photocopier in it)

UPPER LEVEL
Mickie Porter – Jim’s office

CONNECT GROUPS TO REPLACE FELLOWSHIP GROUPS
Bill & Holly Rawnsely are our newest Advisory Team members who are in charge of our new Connect network. This includes connect groups which will replace our former fellowship groups. We are excited to roll out some new creative ideas to connect people at CLC to the life of the church. Look for new connection activities and events. We will be reaching out to our legacy leaders this summer with an update.

TRIMESTER GOALS WORKSHEETS
If you are in a Journey Discipleship coaching group, please be sure to turn in your Trimester Goals Worksheet. If you don't have one, see your coach this WED.

Please note they are due one week from the start of each trimester. Each group member needs to have one on file with his or her coach. These worksheets are a key tool to track the progressive growth of your progress through the Big 5. Please plan on discussing these in your weekly coaching call.

SERVING IN UPSTREET THIS WEEK
Amanda Carroll's group. Thank you!

Best!
