Attendance note on the webpages

Here is the note that is on the top of each leaders attendance page.

ALL SOUL CARE LEADERS:  PLEASE REMEMBER THIS ATTENDANCE METHOD IS ONLY TEMPORARY!  
STILL WORKING ON ATTENDANCE/ROSTERS THROUGH ARENA.
FOR MORE INFORMATION.

We are still working with arena to set up attendance/rosters.

The current attendance system is VERY easy for you but challenging for me because each page is an individual, created website.  
Going in and changing names is not easy.

Please, be patient as we continue to get the arena system up and going.

Thanks!

Soul Care leader notes are HERE

The ministry of our Soul Care Groups is to Glorify God by making disciples.

Are you and your group thinking about ways to share it?

Our end goal is not to start up a lot of groups around Toledo.
Our end goal is to glorify God by making disciples.

 In the sermon, this is related to the messenger section.  What does Paul say about himself?

In the sermon, this is related to the message section.  What does Paul teach?

Q:  What can we learn from Paul’s example?


Q: What does every faithful church need to do?
This is the obvious answer that pastor duke gave in the sermon. 
If you remember pastor Duke mentioned that sometimes we could into a "holy huddle" mentality.
I have been continually reminding you to help your group go beyond this mindset.  This is what I am referring.  
The end goal of our Soul Care ministry is NOT a lot of tightly knit, closed small groups.
The end goal of our Soul Care ministry is developing a culture of care that is evidenced in wanting to help people know Jesus more.
