HOORAY FOR L.I.F.E. GROUPS!!!
Here's some information about this year's small group:
WHEN- We will be kicking off the group sometime in mid-September. Keep an eye on the church bulletin or check back here as we have not yet decided on an exact start date. Like last year we will be meeting on Wednesday nights from 6:00-8:00 pm.
WHERE- The location where we meet will change from week to week as we bounce around to different homes represented in the group. Most often, however, we will be meeting at Josh and Sarah Tate's house over at Camp Maranatha. (There is no pressure to host the group, but as many as would like to open their homes will be given an opportunity.)
WHAT- We will begin this year by working our way through the Truth Project. The Truth Project is a DVD-based small group curriculum comprised of 12 one-hour lessons taught by Dr. Del Tackett. This home study is the starting point for looking at life from a biblical perspective. Each lesson discusses in great detail the relevance and importance of living the Christian worldview in daily life. The videos are very relevant and on-target, and I am confident that they will be a HUGE blessing as well as a vehicle for growth in the life of our group. I can't wait!
(We will begin our time each week by sharing a meal together, and everyone will be asked to bring a part of the meal. Yum-yum!!!)
WHY- When Sarah and I first began attending I.B.C. back in 2004 we didn't really feel "connected" until we began attending a small group. We had been attending services on Sunday morning, but that, by itself, failed the meet the God-given need we were experiencing to know and be known by others. The Bible tells us that God desires for us to live in intimate fellowship with other believers, and that the body of Christ has an important role to play in helping each of us grow towards Christ-likeness. (Proverbs 27:17)
WHO- If you have any questions contact Josh Tate at 818-321-4680
Meeting locations, and meal assignments will be posted weekly on this blog, along with discussion questions, and other relevant information.

Hey Tate's really looking forward to journeying with you this year again. The Life group was such a blessing to us last year. Especially because of the warm and loving hosts. If it wasn't for their amazing hospitality and friendship we would be pagan idol worshipers right now. Well maybe we are a little anyways. God's still completing that work in us. See you when we get back from Vacation on the 9th!
