NLBC Event Form

As a Life Group Coordinator have you ever stayed awake at night asking yourself:

1. How do I get our next fellowship event on the church calendar?
2. How do I get my announcement in the NLBC Happenings?
3. How do I reserve a room?
4. How do I publicize our event in the Newsletter or on newlifehillsboro.com?

OK, so maybe you haven't stayed awake asking yourself these questions... but there's an easy answer!

Just fill out The NLBC Event Form found here and turn in to the office.

Re: Information Needed for Upcoming Business Meeting

Friendly reminder for the information needed for the upcoming business meeting.  Thanks!

-------------------

New Life Baptist Church has a Business Meeting scheduled for March 27th. As part of the meeting I need to present an update to the church on each of our Adult Life Groups.

At our last Quarterly Team Huddle we talked about three goals:

1. Monthly Fellowships
2. Increasing Involvement
3. Growth Groups

For our update at the Business Meeting, please provide me with the following information (via email would be great):

1. Update on your Life Group's plans for Monthly Fellowships
2. Update on people who have accepted a position in your Life Group
3. Update on plans for creating Growth Groups from your Life Group

Please respond no later than Sunday, March 20th.

February Quarterly Team Huddle Slides

Better late than never! :)  Here are the slides from the February QTH.

Time flies when you're having fun!  Our next QTH is scheduled on April 9th from 4pm-7pm.

February 2011 - QTH

Job Descriptions Available for Download

I've updated the lifegroups-coordinator.blogspot.com with the Life Group Job Descriptions and a Prayer Request Sheet that could be used by your Prayer Coordinator to pass around during the announcement time.

Picture Day for Your Classroom

Yes, you read correctly.  Sunday after church is picture day for your classroom.  Yes, just the room...

Let me explain.  On Tuesdays and Fridays our facilities are put to good use by a group of home school families for "Family School."  They have been very gracious and cooperative with us and they are a blessing to New Life Baptist Church.

After the group uses a room, they set it back up just as it has been photographed.  The photographing took place before the school year started, but with our room move it is great time to take new pictures.

So have your room spic and span by this Sunday after church with the chairs setup in your desired configuration.

Feel free to send me an email or give me a call with any questions.

Class Coordinator in Action

While in Texas we were able to see a real-life Life Group Class Coordinator in his natural habitat!  It was a site to behold.

Here is a great example of the Class Coordinator leading the announcements, yet allowing everyone to chime in.  The gentleman standing in the back of the room is the Life Group Teacher.

Right at the end of this video the Class Coordinator turns to us and thanks us for coming and the Teacher introduces other guests.  It was indeed comforting to be a guest in a class that was so well organized and welcoming.

Quarterly Team Huddle Reminder

Hi Everybody,

Just a quick reminder about the Quarterly Team Huddle this Saturday from 4pm-7pm (potluck dinner) at New Life Baptist Church.

As an added incentive to come to the meeting prepared we will have a "Lightning Round".  This will be a part of the meeting where you (or someone you designate) get to briefly share the highlights of your Life Group over the past 3 months.  It could be anything: new guests, baptisms of class members, transformed lives, a fantastic fellowship, a time of caring, anything that you want to praise God for!

You will want to be sure to invite your class to attend with you.  Remember from Make Your Group Grow, one of the highest indicators of a growing class is involvement.

See you Saturday at 4pm!

In Him,

Torrey

Heading to Texas for Training!

The Northwest Baptist Convention and the Interstate Baptist Association (both of which we are part of) are sending Adult Ministry Leaders from around the Northwest to Rockwall, Texas this weekend for training from Pastor Carter Shotwell of Lake Pointe Church.

You may remember Pastor Shotwell from the time he spent at our church helping us to learn about the Life Group model.  In fact, you can see video clips of the training on the right hand side of this blog or check them out on YouTube.  :)

It should be a great time of learning about how we can best continue the process of implementing Life Groups here at New Life!  Please pray for us (Pastor Albert, Pastor Keith, Dee and myself) as we travel.

40 Days of New Life

Well Pastor Albert and Pastor Keith laid down the gauntlet last Sunday.  Will we as Teachers and Coordinators take up the challenge and encourage our students to do the same?

I am eager to see what God will do with a body of believers fully committed to Him.  I am personally praying that God would increase my love for His Word and my love for His people.  Combining the two I want to see my students grow in their love for His Word.  I'm sending an email out to my students with the link to the 40 Days of New Life challenge.

Hey even our Pastors (Albert and Keith) are blogging about it!

New Classrooms Are Ready For Use!

The elevator passed inspection this week!  This means that the new classrooms are available.  Please, plan to setup your rooms prior to class time and communicate the change to your students.

Thanks for your patience in the room changes.  WooHoo!  We can move forward and work alongside the Lord as He builds our classes!
