Life Group Meeting
Life group leaders – pace yourselves. Look over all of the meeting components and make sure you have time to cover all of them.
Welcome (5-10 minutes)
Worship (optional for Sunday breakout sessions)
Word – Discussion Questions (if there are no specific questions use the default questions):
Spend 1 – 2 minutes in silence before you begin each question.
- Which needs in your community break your heart? Discuss.
-
Has traditional church helped you to win people to Christ, disciple them, and get them involved in meeting the needs of your community? Why or why not?
-
How can your life group help make disciples who will meet the needs of their communities? How will you help your group do this? Can they count on you?
Witness (check out the Witness section resources below):
How we work together as a team to be “good news” to the people around us.
-
- Choose a prayer partner from your life group if you don’t have one already.
Additional Life Group Meeting Components:
- Reflection – Include a brief time (e.g. 2 minutes) for quiet reflection sometime during your meeting. Potential times for this are:
- Just before reviewing the questions during the Word portion of the meeting.
- Just before prayer during the Witness portion of the meeting.
- Just after prayer during the Witness portion of the meeting.
Immediately after this reflection time, members may want to write down any thoughts or impressions that come to them and anything that they feel the Lord is saying to them or to anyone else. Encourage the members to consider how they might incorporate more reflection in their daily, weekly, and monthly routines.
- Life Group Housekeeping (do this once a month or more often if needed)
