Summer 2011 Edition

Dear Word of Life Family,

We believe that godly relationships are a very important part of our Christian walk and development. Life Groups provide you with many opportunities to gather and get to know each other on a personal level.

We have many qualified and excited leaders to present their groups to you and share their heart and vision. Please take this opportunity to look through the directory of groups offering a wide variety of activities for you to choose from. We have everything from outdoor activities to Bible studies. There is something for every age group, gender and life status.

It’s easy to get signed up in a Life Group. See how to sign up on the following pages and start fellowshipping with each other in unique and creative ways.

Remember, you are who God says you are!

Life Groups- Summer 2011 Page 1

Emergency ContactsIt is very important to us at Word of Life that your needs are met on all levels. Pastoral care is about helping those experiencing needs, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual in na-ture. If you have a care need or emergency, please refer to the following guidelines:

If you are in a Life Group: You may contact your Life Group Leader as they are equipped to pray for you, visit you in the hospital, and encourage you. Or you may contact Rev. Sandy Hipple at Word of Life, 303/798-5025, ext 208 during business hours. As Pastoral Care Coordinator, Rev. Sandy facilitates pastoral contact, prayer and care when needs are presented.

If you are not in a Life Group: Your needs will be met through the Pastoral Care Ministry Department by calling Rev. San-dy Hipple at 303-798-5025, ext 208 during business hours.

If you have an emergency after hours: Contact the after hours emergency line at 303-798-5025, ext 298. Please leave a detailed voice mail with your contact details. Our trained, on-call ministers check the voice mails throughout the day and will contact you as soon as possible. Please note that we cannot contact you if you do not leave a phone number. Again, this is for emergencies only.

If you feel that you need counseling: Contact the WOLCC office at 303/798-5025, ext 250 or call 303/785-6116 and leave a voice mail. The counseling administrative office will contact you as soon as possible to schedule an appointment with you.

If you experience a life threatening situation:Contact 911 first and then contact the Pastoral Care office or your Life Group Leader, after you have called 911.

We are a congregation grounded in Christ, being transformed through faith and disciple-ship. Care-giving, a profound expression of concern and compassion, is a defining char-acteristic of God’s community known as the church and is therefore a priority of Word of Life. Please let us know when you have care needs using the above listed resources.


Sign-Up InstructionsIt’s easy to get signed up in a Life Group. Choose your Life Group from the directory in the following pages and do ONE of the following:

• Email the Life Groups Coordinator at [email protected]• Call the Life Group office at (303) 798-5025 ext. 160 • Visit our web site at www.wolcc.net/life_groups.asp and sign-up online• Pick up a Life Group sign-up form in the foyer and drop it in the offering bucket during service

Please make sure that you fill in all the details so that our administrative office can efficiently place you in your selected Life Group.

Life Groups were created to provide an opportunity for you to develop relationships within Word of Life Christian Center. You may sign-up for more than one group at a time and you do not have to commit to staying in that group. Once you sign up for a group our administrative office will add you to the group and your Life Group Leader will contact you to invite you to their next meeting.

Some groups provide childcare while others do not. There are Life Groups that meet at many different times throughout the month and all days of the week. You get to choose which group and meeting time(s) suit your needs.

Please note: Childcare is provided by WOLCC for those groups that meet at the church from Monday-Thursday evenings. Please let your Life Group Leader know (well in advance) if you would like to participate in this complimentary service. You may not leave the WOLCC premises while your child is being cared for by our childcare providers.
