A New Season of Growth Groups Has Begun!!

We had a great summer, and now we're back to Fall quarter of Growth Groups! Now I just wish the weather would realize it's fall. . .oh well :)

Welcome to the group Kyle & Ronya, Alex & Melissa! We're excited to have you :) I'll try to keep this blog updated, especially with photos from socials and community service projects. This is also the place to find the dessert list & Growth Group calendar (once we pick a service & social date). Just take a look at the top right! Let me know if I'm missing anything!

Fall Quarter Update!

We've had a great few meetings so far, and I'm really looking forward to the rest of this quarter - the study in Acts has been great, and I can't wait to see where it will take us. I'm also excited for our Community Service opportunities, and socials as well! Here's what we've planned/done so far:

October 9th - An evening at Silver Oak bringing smiles to the elderly with our cute little ones :-)

October 26th - Weekend of Service - we'll be serving at a New Haven house on Debra Lane in Vista during the PM shift (1-5pm). It will be home-makeover type jobs, such as painting, fixing things, yardwork, etc. Dress to make a mess! We need to leave are kids with childcare.

October 30th - Costume party w/ the kids?

November 1st or 15th- Murder Mystery Afternoon! More details to come. . .

November 20th - Holiday Potluck? W/ kids?

Please take the polls to the right of this blog - that way we can anonymously decide on some different things :-) See you this Thursday!

Welcome to the Williams Growth Group!

This Spring marks the beginning of a new Growth Group, really a new Era, if you will :-) Josh and I had been in our previous group for several years and had made some great connections and friendships with some wonderful people, but we really felt God pushing us to branch out and open up our home to some new people. While we will miss the pleasure of meeting weekly with our old group, we look forward to seeing what this new group of amazing individuals will hold. We had a great first night - yummy Pat & Oscars, babies, games and strawberry shortcake for dessert. . .delicious. Can't wait to start our study next week! Welcome Jason & Kristi, Andrew & Jessica, Nick & Vicki, Lee & Shraddah and Jeff & Gina!
