Small Group Corner

 

The Small Group Leadership Team, headed by Dan Verratti and Howard Bruning, have decided to re-institute regular meetings of the Small Group Leaders and Hosts.

Leaders and Hosts will meet four times per year.  At each meeting, we will share praises, successes, problems, and teaching resources.

Every meeting will also include time to brainstorm new ideas and approaches.

At each meeting, Franklyn will provide a list of those who are ungrouped.

Finally, each meeting will feature a practical and useful "Topic of the Day."

***

The first quarterly meeting was held on April 25th.  Besides the standard agenda items, we heard reports on the progress of "Stand in the Rain," which was initially proposed by the  Small Group Leadership Team last year.  The phenomenal growth of the "Stand in the Rain" blog's readership (especially via Facebook) was conveyed.

A report was heard concerning the upcoming "Beta" classes on Wednesday nights.  "Beta" will be a hybrid combination--Bible classes within a small group framework.

A spirited and informative discussion broke out (!) concerning the updated list of teaching materials. Particularly helpful was Tim Wasson's explanation of small group materials to be found at group.com.

We also decided to institute a newsletter column called "Small Group Corner," which you happen to be reading!  Franklyn and Judy Forsey will co-author the articles each month.

The next quarterly meeting will be on June 13th at 1:00.  See you there!
