enjoy God | grow in Truth share Life | live the Mission

Dear Friends,
Thanks for picking up a Community Life booklet. Whether you attend the Woodmen or University Center Campus, we view relationship and community as being essential to a healthy, meaningful life. Our Life Groups are just the place to experience that! It is in that setting that people find a place to belong, become like family to one another, are challenged to grow in their faith and ultimately find a life that is rich in purpose and fulfillment. As you look through these pages, youll find groups arranged by categories and group emphasis to help you easily navigate through the many options being offered. One of the new options you may want to explore are our Sermon-Based Life Groups, where groups discuss and apply what theyve heard in the weekend message to their everyday lives. Because its important to us that you find your place, please dont hesitate to call on us if you need assistance. It is our hope and prayer that as you embrace this opportunity to connect with others that God will reward you in remarkable and unexpected ways!

Chip Mattingly Community Life Pastor

Hebrews 10:24-25

...and let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

If you need further assistance, please email life@mountainsprings.org. Find more info or sign up at mountainsprings.org/lifegroups.
