When we came back from the nephew weekend our church had a very big event; the launch of small groups! We are calling them Transformation Groups because that is part of our church's mission statement (connecting people to Christ in a way that leads to life transformation). So for the launch we had a TGTG or Transformation Group Tail Gate!
Right after church the congregation was invited to come out on the church lawn for a burger picnic. After fellowshiping at lunch, we headed inside to sign up for a transformation group. There were a lot of different types of groups for different ages and interests. To start off we have 8 groups but we are planning to add more as more leaders step up.
Amanda put in so much time organizing this event and thinking of every little detail! She did an amazing job and it was such a success! Through this event our church completed one of our huge goals which was to have 100 adults in a small group by the fall of 2009 and at the end of this day we had 92 signed up and we are expecting to get the other 8 from adults who couldn't attend this event. Great job team!
