Four_More_Verses_pointer Four (More) Verses That Will Change Your Life: February 2012
A year ago we kicked off the New Year with a message series called Five Verses That Will Change Your Life.  We explored several very powerful Bible verses and talked about how to apply them.  They were so well received we decided to do it again.

Prayer Ministry Team Meeting
February 5 & 12: 12:30pm

For those who have been or would like to be involved in the BPF prayer ministry, we would love for you to attend a brief meeting
to brainstorm about ways to expand and redirect this vital part of our church ministry.  To help make it easier for you to attend there will be two dates to choose from: either Sunday, February 5th or Sunday the 12th.  Each meeting will be held in Room 203 at 12:30pm.  For planning purposes, if you know which meeting you will attend, please contact Teresa Whitehead at resewhitehead@att.net.  Also, please contact Teresa if you are unable to attend either meeting but are interested in joining this ministry.  Thank you!

SMALL GROUP SPRING SEMESTER
We currently have more groups and more people involved in groups than ever before. Small Groups are about connecting with other people like yourself and sharing together in Bible Study, ministry, and fellowship. There is no better time to get involved in a Small Group than now. Whatever your age group or place in life, we have a group that will meet your needs. Take your next step with God. Small Groups
are a great place to meet people and feel more connected with Brazos Pointe Fellowship.

If you'd like more information, contact Ronnie
Whitehead by phone at 979-285-2022, by email at
smallgroups@brazospointe.com, or in person by
stopping by the Small Group Center in the foyer.

someone who would like to be trained as a Small
Group Leader, Turbo Training is for you. These 4
weeks of casual, informal dialogue will not only give
you all the information and training that you need to
be a group leader,but it will give you a platform to ask
all the questions that you might have about leading a
Small Group now or in the future. Attending the classes does not commit you to leading a Small
Group.
