Getting Back in the Groove

Below are a few hints and tips to help with the transition back into the regular group setting.

  • Take time in your first meeting to reflect on the experiences of those who participated in the 2-10-1 and Alpha events.
  • Both Alpha and Faith In Action made impacts in amazing ways. Discuss how some of these experiences can be continued personally and within your group. How should the format of your meetings change? Is there a new ministry/service activity that you could embrace together as a group? How can your group care for each other better?...
  • You've met new people! The event has led to new relationships and connections. Look at ways to include those who are not in a small group, to be included into your own. This may mean discussing how your group can grow and divide! If you need support in this area, call your Small Group Coach: Wayne, Julie or Marge.
  • Review your Group Covenant
    • This will help with getting back on track for the remainder of the season, and allow for tasks to be shared among the group members. It is a vital part of an effective small group!
