Remember that part of hospitality is outreach: we develop welcoming communities to receive lost and searching visitors, and we, as a group, reach out to those lost and searching in need. Leverage your Christmas functions and ideas as times to invite people to experience your group. Imagine yourself as an unbeliever invited to a Bible study and then as an unbeliever invited to a Christmas party. Surely some of us would choose the latter over the former! And don’t forget that your group will mature as you serve and pray together for the lost.
The article below gives 4 ideas for your LIFE Group this Christmas season. Begin praying now about Christmas opportunities and 2018 outreach opportunities.
