Here are a couple of small changes that would help keep your group fresh:
- Change the timing: Move the prayer time after the discussion time.
- Change the room set-up: Recently, I placed two chairs in the middle of the circle. People wondered what the chairs were doing there. We used them to talk through Pastor Duke's person A/person B example in the sermon.
Last night I told the people in our group I was going to give them two minutes to list personal prayer help ideas. Giving a set time eliminated that awkwardness that sometimes happens in group settings. Everyone knew when we were going to start talking again.
ReplyDeleteJust heard one of the groups has a homework assignment...
ReplyDeleteSeek out an opportunity to share your faith with someone.
Pray that the members of David Barrows' group (and each of us) would do this.
