2013 LV Life Group & Classes@Cornerstone calendar

Life Group Launch, Livermore Campus

April 13th & 14th, life groups and their leaders will be available in the courtyard after each service to meet you, answer questions and connect you into a life group. If you are not in a life group, set this weekend aside to get connected.

What is a Life Group?

A Life Group is a small group of people who meet together regularly for Connection, Community, and Spiritual Growth.

Life Groups are where a large church like Cornerstone becomes small.

They are also where lasting friendships and life change happens. If you're not involved in a Life Group, you're missing out on one of the best avenues for spiritual growth and connection to community.

Visit our online Life Group Finder to find a Life Group today. On the Life Group Finder you'll find Life Groups throughout the East Bay including Livermore, Tracy, Mountain House, Pleasanton, Dublin, San Leandro, Castro Valley, San Ramon, Danville, Walnut Creek, Brentwood, Antioch, Discovery Bay, Oakley and more.

After the Me I Want to Be

Over the past 6 weeks during The Me I Want to Be Church-wide Life Group Study we have had more people learning and growing together at Cornerstone than ever before!

Many of our groups are deciding what they want to study next.  If you and your group haven't landed on what's next, I would like to make a few suggestions for the remainder of the Fall session:

Cornerstone Weekly Study Guide for groups to dive deeper into what we are learning on the weekends.  You can pick up a copy at the Life Groups or Information Counter at any weekend service or download/print a copy each week here.

Bible Study.  Simple and straightforward, you and your group can choose a book of the Bible, read through a chapter or two each week and meet to discuss.

Read a Book/Watch a DVD.   You might want to choose another spiritual growth related book like the Me I Want to Be which incorporates Scripture to read together for the next 6 weeks.  There are a number of great DVD studies that you might like as well.

We have included some recommendations for you and your group on the right.  over here-------------------------->
