groupLink makes it easy to get in a small group

Man I hope you're in a small group. I mean, it's incredible. I can't imagine life without my small group. If you're not in a small group...well, you're probably not going to heaven. Kidding... kidding! (sorta).

At NewPointe, we make it easy for a person to test drive a small group and see if it works for them. The primary way we connect people to small groups is through an event we call Group Link.

I love Group Link. It's a blast. We do four Group Link events a year. The next one is Saturday, March 24 @ 7 p.m. Here's the gist:

It's in the Warehouse at NewPointe. We always have incredible desserts (often it's gourmet cheesecake) and we treat Group Link guests to all the complimentary specialty coffee and drinks they can pour into their gullets. How's that for a deal?

We engage in some get-to-know-you type activities (nothing weird or uncomfortable--I promise). We laugh a lot. We introduce attendees to a bunch of small group leaders who are staring new groups. And then we give everyone an opportunity to talk with leaders about trying out their new groups.

That's it.

The cool thing about Group Link is this: if you're the type person that just not quite sure about coming to something like that...you know, just not sure what's going to happen...well it's important for you to know that we'll never put anyone on the spot or make them feel uncomfortable at Group Link. Anyone is welcome to come and just be a fly on the wall and check it out. We won't force you to get in a group. There's no "sales job." You can just come and see if the small group thing is something you think would be worth trying.

And then (this is cool, too), if you do decide to try a group, that's exactly what you get to do: try a group. We'll ask you to give the small group thing an eight-week test drive. No obligation beyond that. You get an automatic, no-questions-asked out if you want out. You can just try it for eight weeks to see if the group thing looks good on you. Kick the tires on the group...we call it the try-before-you-buy approach.

If you like the group, you can stick with it (for another 18 months or so). If not, that's cool...you can come to another Group Link sometime and try it again.

I say all that to say this: if you're not in a small group yet, come to Group Link! If, for nothing else, come for the free Chai tea and cheesecake. You literally have nothing to lose (except for a couple of hours...but we guarantee you'll have fun).

It starts at 7 p.m. on the 24th. And yes, you can just show up. We'll have you out of there by 9. If you have more questions about it you can stop at the Group Link table in the lobby this Sunday and someone there will be happy to answer your questions.

Oh, one more thing: our next Group Link isn't until late August. So if you want in on a group (and I know you do), then man, I don't want you to have to wait for five more months. Come to this one! Hope to see you there!
