What are Connect Groups? Not awkward circles or mini home churches or judgmental groups—but authentic, life-giving, gospel-centered communities. Connect Groups are our intentional approach to community and discipleship within the church. These home-based community groups are a place to learn how to apply the Bible, build friendships, and serve—a place to live life together. They are the way in which we can gather under the Word of God and then scatter for the mission of God. Connect Groups make our very large church more intimate and a place for people to call home. Next to worship and Bible teaching, they are the most important thing we do.

Host homes are needed for Reboot 2018. For three days, hundreds of middle and high school students will attend our annual in-town weekend retreat at Calvary Church Albuquerque. They will enjoy high-energy worship, practical teaching, and extreme games as they intentionally grow in their faith together.

You can take part in what the Lord is doing in the lives of these students by hosting a small group in your home. Families who sign up to be a host home are eligible to have one of their students attend Reboot for free.

Do you have a heart to serve kids and help lead them closer to the Lord? This year's VBS, Shipwrecked: Rescued by Jesus, will be held June 11-15, and we need you. Sign up in the Bible Island foyer or stop by our kiosk to serve in one of many fun areas—we guarantee you will have as much fun as the children. Parents who serve all week in VBS can enroll their child for no cost.

In the Lifestyle Booklet Pray This Way: Our Pattern for Prayer, Skip Heitzig leads you through the Lord's prayer, teaching you the perspective you need to communicate well with God. You'll also receive the CD message "Living Like There's No Tomorrow," in which Skip challenges you to make the most of today.

Request your copy when you give a gift to the ministry of Connect with Skip Heitzig online or when you call 800.922.1888.
