3 BIG Things for this Week: October 25

Each week we will share the NEXT step that will be presented to our congregation, a Group CHALLENGE, and a BEST practice for groups.

  • NEXT Step: We are stewards of all that God gives
  • Group CHALLENGE: Pick a way to serve with your group from this year’s Holiday Service Guide.
  • BEST Practice: Daily Bible engagement is the number one predictor of spiritual growth, i.e. if you are thoughtfully engaging the Bible, then you will likely mature spiritually. As leaders, we must help our groups members engage the word daily through devotionals, reading assignments to match what you’re teaching, or something like Mike’s 9@9 which can be found on the Brentwood App. Get the app from wherever you download apps for your mobile device, e.g. apple app store, google play store, etc.
  • BONUS Practice: This week our congregation will celebrate the Lord’s Supper. Could you participate in this remembrance with your group by encouraging them to bring the elements or providing it for them, safely?

3 Big Things for this Week: October 18

Each week we will share the NEXT step that will be presented to our congregation, a Group CHALLENGE, and a BEST practice for groups.

NEXT Step: Church on Mission – Every Member Engaged in Mission

Group CHALLENGE: Adopt a school! Remember that many are moving to Middle Tennessee because of the quality education for their children. Here’s all you have to do:

  1. Look through this list: Better Together School Outreach and pick a school for you and your group to adopt;
  2. Email Paul ([email protected]) which school you chose;
  3. Pick up your “bin” on Sunday morning in the atrium of Brentwood Campus for your adopted school.

BEST Practice: Jesus commanded us to Love God and Love Others. A great way to love is through service. Ask your group two questions: where do we want to serve in our local community & how can we engage global missions?
