- Series: Saved by grace to live graciously
Life Group: 11/28-12/4
Life-Giving Prayer
Begin your time of worship by talking about this upcoming holiday season. Talk about how busy it is, and how fast it goes by. Share your schedules and plans.
Now challenge each person to slow down, and not miss out on the obvious worship opportunities.
Is busyness a worthwhile excuse for not worshiping God in this season that celebrates His reaching out to us?
How can you make sure you don’t miss it? How can we as a group help you not miss it?
Now pray
