Jason from Alive

Last night we finished up week 3 of our latest Foundations class at Alive Church. Foundations is a class that equips you with tools necessary to live the Christian life. During week 3 one of the things we discuss is our core value, Doing Life Together, and how that is accomplished through Life Groups. Life Group is one of the most important things in my spiritual journey.

This last week our Life Group started back up after taking the summer off. Due to my work schedule I have been unable to attend group for the last 2 semesters. I did not realize how much I had missed Life Group, and how much of a difference it makes in my life. The people in my Life Group are the first ones to help me in a time of need. They are the ones that we do fun stuff with. This summer we all went to the lake together. It always amazes me at how quickly friendships begin in a Life Group.

Our group is a place where we talk over the weekend teaching and what each of us got out of it. The different perspectives are great. The weekend teaching really comes to life during and after our group. I always walk away with a better perspective of how the teaching relates to my life and the lives of those around me. In our group we often wrestle through things we may have had questions about from the teaching. Every group has its own personality. My group is where I fit, and where I am Doing Life Together with others. I am so excited to be back in a group.

In just a couple weeks the Fall Semester for Life Groups officially begins. This weekend pick up a Life Group booklet and find your group, or go to www.AliveChurch.com and click on the Life Groups tab to get the latest list of groups.If you have questions about what group might be best for you just ask at the Life Group table.
