Sending a commitment message at the start of a new HC season is important because it sets clear expectations for everyone. It helps members understand the value of showing up regularly and being involved. This message also shows that each person’s participation matters, creating a sense of responsibility and unity within the group. By starting with commitment, the group is more likely to stay focused and connected throughout the season.

Hello beloved HC,
Our first HC gathering of the season starts on Sep 6.
Just like we do at the start of every House Church season, we’re asking for a recommitment to HC. I feel that this is going to be a special season of growth, both spiritually and in numbers. And for that to happen, we need to be committed to running the race together! The minimum commitment requires two things:
- Come to the SP Sunday service each week.
- Join us at the House Church every week.
We understand that if you are unwell or if you have work/business trips, but we ask that you make every effort to honor these requirements and be respectful to God and each other.
Here are a few not-so-good excuses:
- You’re too tired or not in the mood
- Social events
- Other church activities
There are exceptions, but these are the general requirements set for every HC. Let’s remember that love is a choice and requires commitment.
Please respond by Sep 1 by using the poll below to indicate if you are committing to this upcoming season.
If you are IN for this new season, I will add you to a new HC chat. We will be keeping this chat so we can stay connected for those who can’t join the new season.
