June 30 Update - Small Group Tonight

Welcome to Summer!

Here in Arizona we are experiencing the first wave of scorcher days, but even in the midst of the heat there are opportunities to witness the glory of God's creation!  Every morning as I walk to my car there are hummingbirds flitting about in one of the tree's I walk under, the flowers are blooming and to top it off it is the beginning of cherry season!

God is awesome, isn't He?!!!

As you know we continuing with our current study, 'joseph: Grace in Living Color' tonight at 8 PM (AZ time).   We will be discussing Week 2, please start reading Week 3 sometime today.

June 16 Update - New Study Begins Tonight

Welcome to Small Group!

Joseph, an ordinary man used mightily by God.  From his humble beginnings as the favored son to his rise to power and position in the courts of a king, his life was one that spoke of grace.

You are invited to join Authentic Living Ministries as we delve deeper into this man's life and learn how we can have that same grace in our own lives.

joseph: Grace in Living Color  - download the study at BacktotheBible.org

When:  Mondays - June 16 to July 14
Time:  8:00 pm  (AZ time) - lasts for an hour
Where:  Facebook - Go to "Join Small Group" for instructions




For those of you who are new, here are a few helpful tips before tonight's Small Group:

1. On the night of Small Group, log-in to Facebook and go to the Authentic Living Small Group page.  I will post a picture for the night, and underneath that picture is where our Small Group will meet for the night.  We will open with prayer, and then I will be posting a series of questions.  All answers should be posted in the comments under the picture.  We will close with prayer.
2. All answers should be prefaced with Q1, Q2, etc…so that we know which question is being answered.
3. The pace of the Group moves fast.  Refreshing will be needed at times to stay current with comments. The easiest way is to hit F5 on your keyboard.  Otherwise use the refresh at the top of your browser. 

I am looking forward to seeing you all tonight as Small Group!

Blessings,

Kathy 

June 9 Update - Small Group Tonight

This week we are ending our very first Small Group study, Stepping Stones!

I pray that this study has truly blessed you.  I know that it has for me!  We are finishing up tonight with a discussion about Week 4: Blue Monday!  As this is our last week of the study, there will be no assigned reading.  Instead I want to encourage you to take this week to go over what we’ve learned, pray on it, and ask God to speak to you what is on His heart.

I am excited to officially announce our next study!

Authentic Living Ministries would like to invite you to join us as we delve into the life of an ordinary man who was used mightily by God. From his humble beginnings as the favored son to his rise to position in the courts of a king, Joseph’s life was one that spoke of grace.  

Join us on Monday, June 16 at 8 PM (az/pacific) for a fresh look at such a familiar story…

I am so excited to announce that in just 2 short weeks we will begin our 2nd Small Group study!  For those of you who are interested, please go to BackToTheBible.org and download your copy of Joseph; Grace in Living Color.

Joseph is one my very favorite Bible characters.  He was certainly no saint, but in the midst of his greatest trial he remained faithful to God, and that gives me such hope and comfort in my own life.  I can't wait to delve into this man's life in more detail, and I'm hoping that you will share my same excitement!

Because we are starting a new study in 2 weeks I am going to be opening up the Small Group to other ladies who might benefit from this format.  If you know of anyone who might like to join us, please invite them!  Send them to the Blog first, so that they can get the full information needed.

On another note, I've submitted the Letter of Intent for the Fall Semester at the Vineyard, so once that is officially approved we will be in the Small Group Catalog.  I can hardly wait to see what God is going to do through us, and in us!

Blessings!
