LIFEGROUPS SUMMERSTUFF

Hey Everyone!

One of the questions we get asked a lot is "How can we stay connected during the summer, when there is not an active lifegroups semester going on?" Well, we are glad you asked! Every month during May, June, & July, we will release a calendar of LifeGroup events and contiuing LifeGroups for that month. This way, you, and any new guests, can get plugged into life at NLC throughout the summer.

Sooooooooo, without further adue, below, you will find the list for May. These Lifegroups and events are OPEN TO ALL. Please feel free to inquire about further information about ANY of the following events and groups!

We will meet there @ 10am. Bring a small lunch and water with you in a backpack. Kids are welcome as long as they're at least 8-9 years old and don't mind walking several miles up some steep terrain. The trail is not that hard, but the last parts will involve crawling and twisting over some rocks. Very scenic.

When: May 8th
Time: 9:30am---
Where: Lazy 5 Ranch
This is an event for Moms and Kids! We will meet at the church and carpool there. We will meet at 9:30am.

What: Continuing Mens LifeGroupon the Book of Proverbs
When: Monday Mornings
Time: 7:30am-8:30am
Where: Panera Bread, Matthews (In front of Target)
The Book of Proverbs at first glance is a collection of pithy sayings by the wisest man ever to live, King Solomon. But with just a little digging, we find hundreds of instructions. Dig a little deeper and you find even more instructions for skill in living life. Dig even deeper you find the call of Wisdom, which if heeded, prevents self destruction or provides the road to recovery from failure. As men, we are charged with leading; leadership in our families, leadership in our church and leadership in our communities as we live life together. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you have some kind of title, but it does mean that you should have skill and be able to pass on that skill in living life and dealing with life’s situations. Most of all us know the sting of failure, but do you know the “map” for winning at life?
