If you were in a group last year (or led one), please fill out a card so that our records are up to date and a leader will be in touch with you to give you all the details of your new/old group. Thanks for considering participation in this vital Grace ministry. If you have questions about what LIFE Groups are or how they work, please contact Marshall Gipe @ 937.932.1991 hm, or marshall@thegipes.com
