They are growing numerically, with a number of new guests attending dinners and discussions. These are family members of the folks already in the group and another couple that is a part of water's edge that was looking to attend one of our LG's.
They also just completed a service project for Christmas. They brought Christmas gifts and spent time with a new mom at the Liberty Woman's Clinic. The mom and staff were so appreciative and the group was charged by the service experience.
As far as curriculum is concerned, they have used the Serendipity Bible for Groups, which has been an excellent resource for them. The Bible has discussion questions for certain scripture passages. You can choose to go through a topical study or take a book of the Bible chapter by chapter. They have done both. Earlier this year, they completed a study of Ephesians. Then we went on to a discussion series pertaining to parenting. They also went through part of a study on discipleship and basic spiritual disciplines. The discussions don't take a lot of prep time, so it is easy to get various people within the group to lead the discussions.
This fall, they went through the Walk Across the Room series (Hybels), and they loved it. They are now in the process of choosing their next lesson. When we are in between a specific series, they usually base the discussion off of the Sunday teaching at Water's Edge, using the discussion questions that are circulated.
Great job Corlew group. Thanks for your serious investment into your faith and the faith of others.
