Leaders, we are at the end of the fall season and will begin the winter season the middle of January.  I hope you will enjoy the break and the Christmas season. As usual, at the end of each season, we have a survey for each one in our group to take which will help us find out what we can do to improve.  The link to the survey for people in our groups is included in this week’s questions. Here is a link for the leaders’ survey: https://goo.gl/forms/pCeUMWw0EGHRRYzV2.  Please take the time to fill it out.

Before we take our break, though, I want to thank you for the time and energy that you have invested. I had someone who was new to our church and area tell me this past season that their group was “literally the best thing” that had happened to them in the whole move and was the source of almost all the good things they have experienced being in the Bay Area. They also told me that their relationship with God is in a whole new place now because of their group. To hear things like that reminds me of how impactful groups are in people’s lives. So again thank you for making stories like that happen and for investing into the life of others and joining with Christ in his mission to make disciples. I really appreciate all that you have done and continue to do.

Thank you!
