Life Group sign-ups are open! Life Groups are small groups of six to eight students and a leader who meet weekly for 60 to 90 minutes to grow in relationship with Jesus, pray together, and enjoy friendship with each other.

Groups begin meeting the week of Sept. 19 and end the week of Nov. 11. You can sign up online at this link.

You are invited to attend and help spread the word for a six-week leadership workshop that is being hosted by athletics. You don’t have to be an athlete or coach to be part of Bruins LEAD. It is simply an opportunity to develop your leadership skills.

We will take basic leadership concepts and spend one hour diving into details of how to develop responsible and respected leaders.

Each week, you will get to hear from one of our coaches on the following topics:

• Sept. 15 – Neal Ninteman on “Exploring Leadership and How to Get and Keep Yourself Motivated”
• Sept. 22 – Marty Hunter on “Confidence and Composure”
• Sept. 29 – Maco Hamilton on “How to Conduct Yourself With Class and Servant Leadership”
• Oct. 13 – Mike Meek on “How to Inspire Your Team and How to Build Winning Team Chemistry”
• Oct. 20 – Branden Thompson on “How to Get Your Teammates Back on Track”
• Oct. 27 – Jessica Hollen on “How to Manage Team Conflict”

All sessions take place from 8:40 to 9:40 a.m. in Hoover 102.

While some of the content may be specific to athletics and teams, we feel strongly that every person will end up working in a team at some point in their lives and this information can be relevant for everyone on campus.

Thursday, Sept. 15, is our first session. We would love to see you there!

Probably most important … there will be snacks!
