Hello everyone, as promised here is week one of the “Misunderstood: Jesus According to Mark” series. As I’ve mentioned over the last few weeks, we would love for each small group and class to join us in this study during the next 6 weeks.
MISUNDERSTOOD: JESUS ACCORDING TO MARK
Here is a link to download the week 1 Group Guide: Misunderstood – Jesus According to Mark 1
Please feel free to download this and share it with your group/class or we will have some paper copies available at the Welcome Center this weekend.
We have also created an informal video to go along with each week of the series. Here is a preview of that video:

ENCOURAGEMENT DURING FEBRUARY

With the holidays long gone and Spring still weeks away, I often find February one of the toughest months to stay motivated as a leader. A few years ago, when I was a Youth Pastor in Michigan, I wrote an article to encourage small group leaders of students during this difficult month. I hesitate to share it because it is specifically written for student ministry small group leaders. However, as I re-read it this week, I thought it might be an encouragement to some of you. So, here you go: http://leadsmall.org/students/will-february-ever-end/
Thanks again, JG
