Good Evening All,

What a great time it was at our Fall Kickoff. From that gathering, we heard from more than 60 people that want join a group. Thank you for making it happen! You've heard a from us a lot over the past week and we appreciate your prompt responses as we try to get people connected to a group. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me, Kaylan, or Lauren if you have any questions.

Next week's guide is attached. Shout out to Noah Engelker for helping us put it together. You'll notice we took a slightly different approach to the book of Romans. Dean will likely spend most of his overview sermon in the first 11 chapters. So, we decided to focus discussions on chapter 12.

You'll see that in chapter 12, Paul gets into some of the practical points of a gospel life. We thought it'd be good to spend some time discussing these commands with your groups early in the term to help us focus our time this year.

We're off to a great start! We’re thankful for you.

Gratefully,
Joe and Kaylan
