Welcome to the Copeland / Stanley Life Group Web Page
Welcome to a new Life Group.
We're so glad you chose to check us out. If you're looking for a Married Life Group class with a mix of people from diverse backgrounds, then you've found a new home in our class.
WHO ARE WE?
Our group comprises married couples in our 30s and 40s with young children and preteens. Our desire is to grow in Christ through worshiping, serving, building stronger marriages, and having fun together with other couples.
WHEN AND WHERE DO WE MEET?
10:45AM | Love Building | Room L-202/220, otherwise known as the Gold Room. We benefit from the fun bonus of having a kitchen attached to our meeting room—and we know how to use it!
AND JUST WHO IS THIS ANDY COPELAND?
Andy is husband to Margaret (16 years) and dad to Margot and Madison. Andy studies God’s Word and prepares a lively, meaningful lesson each week. He’s not the type of teacher who believes in lecture-heavy messages; rather, he shares a weekly truth from the Bible and offers ample opportunities for class discussion and daily application. Don’t be surprised if he throws in a crazy story about his family and, of course, the occasional football analogy.
WHAT’S THE CLASS’S CORE SCRIPTURE?
“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails.”
I Corinthians 13:1-8a
WHAT’S MISSING?

CHRISTMAS OUTREACH
In December we provided carloads of Christmas presents and food to a grandmother raising her four young grandchildren. The real blessing was that our own children were able to get involved by selecting and delivering the gifts. Below are photos of the blanket-and-Bible presentation along with our life group praying with the grandmother.
CRAWFISH BOIL at Steve and Jennifer Fisher's Home
The life group spring crawfish boil was a team effort—literally. Many thanks to our crawfish cookers Greg Fillingane and Steve Fisher, to Billy Holliday manning the grill with his special ingredient hamburger patties, and all the contributors of yummy dips and desserts. The Blantons took home the prize for reeling in the largest fish (and it took a team to bring it in), and in the interest of all concerned, we won’t announce the winner of the flag football contest. We do, however, now have photographic documentation of some serious holding penalties!
