Officially THE Best Housegroup in the World

last week something caught my eye…

it was a competition for small group awesomeness.

“My small group awesomeness contest” at Life & Theology by Ben Reed, who is an awesome small groups guy with an awesome totally useful blog and who i also follow on twitter.  love his stuff.  love the comp. 

esp when i saw the prize!

“Let me tell you about a new site, Only144.com.  It’s like Groupon, but for churches.  They’re a brand new company, trying to get word out about what they do.  They’ll be offering phenomenal deals for churches on various resources.  This has the potential to really help local churches out in a huge way.In fact, they’ll be offering some small group curriculum that has the chance to shape your church culture in a huge way.

And in order to help get the word out about their new site, they’re willing to give away $600 worth of curriculum here through my blog!

If you win, you’ll get:

• Philippians small group study, by Matt Chandler
• Love Life small group study, by Mark Driscoll
• Song of Solomon small group study, by Tommy Nelson
