Hello, awesome small group leaders, I hope your weeks and your groups are going well.

WHO’S IN YOUR GROUP?

Dawn Wendt, who is a small group leader and works in the front office, is graciously working on updating all of our group info in the church database.  THANK YOU DAWN!!!!  To help her, please send me an email with the names and contact info of the people currently in your group. CLICK HERE TO SEND ME AN EMAIL.  If you were at the August leader huddle and gave me a card, and nothing has changed, you get a pass.

NEXT LEADER HUDDLE

Please mark your calendar for our next Leader Huddle on Sunday, Oct. 20 from 6-7:30 in Mosaic Cafe.  Dinner is provided. This will be the 2nd of 4 huddles this school year.  I would love to see you there for training, prayer, and connection with other leaders.
