Stay Connected

One of the elements at Lakeland that I'm constantly reinforcing is the need to be in each others lives.  One of the primary ways we take further steps in our faith is when we have accountability, encouragement, and challenge coming from others in our lives. 

To highlight a few groups...we've got a couple men's groups.  One that meets Thursday nights 7pm, and "Man Up" which meets Saturday's at 8am.  Women's groups...one on Monday nights 7pm and one on Wednesday mornings 9am.  Celebrate Recovery which targets supporting one another as we work through our hurts, habits, and hang-ups, on Friday's at 7pm.  A prayer group that meets to truly engage in the spiritual battle and take ground for the kingdom on Saturday's at 7am.  And a home group study that is meeting for 5 weeks on Tuesday nights at 6:15pm...at the end of the 5 weeks those involved will launch into home groups moving at their own paces.

The point is this, you've got to have others in your life.  As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.  I always encourage people to find the group that is most useful to where they are right now in life.  Don't join three groups, just find one group...but the point is find one, connect, take the next step in your journey.
