We recommend that our very small congregations (those with 15 or fewer people attending—we call them fellowship groups) utilize a small group style meeting format that is effective for both nurturing believers and connecting with unchurched people. Resources to assist in operating fellowship groups are found on GCI’s FaithTalk Equipper website at http://faithtalkgroups.blogspot.com/ where the CAD team has posted videos for small group facilitator training, discussion guides to use in group meetings, and instructions related to starting small groups and conducting small group meetings. At the GCI-USA 2016 regional conferences (listed at www.gci.org/events) we’ll have sessions specifically addressing fellowship group operations.
Letting you know that to see this today as an entry in the GCI weekly update is a joy to my heart.
Ah, “bring it on”, way to go”, “praise the Lord” or something along those lines.
A rejoicing
