 Do you have a testimony related to a growth group you are attending? Is God showing you areas of your life that could use improvements? Has something significant happened as a result of attending the growth group? Are you feeling more connected? If you would like to share your story (we will not use names) please email it to Elizabeth and she will put it in next weeks bulletin. You can email her at

For two hours on Wednesday evenings a group of seven people meet at Darryl and Elizabeth’s and enjoy a time of good coffee, great food and excellent conversation.
After we’ve had our fill and a quick catch-up on the week’s events we watch a dynamic video teaching by Andy Stanley. The topic of our Growth Group is, “Take It To The Limit - How To Get The Most Out Of Life”.
After watching this 20-40min teaching we discuss what we have just learned and how it affects us. We look at how our life is currently and brainstorm about how we can make improvements to the way we do things to get the most out of life and live the way God designed us to - PRODUCTIVELY.
Although we have had a few bumps along the way the first three weeks have been VERY good. It seems that everyone has been making the same classic mistakes in their scheduling and not allowing for enough margin in their lives. This in turn causes us to not handle stress and unexpected circumstances that arises in life. It also causes our relationships to suffer as all relationships are formed in the margin of our lives.
We have also learned that when planning our monthly, weekly and daily schedules we need to be asking God for the wisdom to know His will for our time. He knows how much time we have left on this earth - not us - so we should ask Him how to best use the time He is giving to us.
If this sounds interesting then ask around this morning for someone in the growth group to tell you more. Better yet - sign up for the next set of growth groups beginning in April!
