What is the flow of a typical group meeting?
- Connecting. Connect with each other by sharing stories. Provide an opportunity in every meeting for each person to share with others. All need a chance to hear and be heard.
- Worshipping. Worship in a manner that reflects the identity of the group, including all of its traditions over time.
- Remembering. Remember what was learned in the last meeting, and ask how that has made a difference.
- Learning. Engage in the discipline of learning together through case studies, book reflections, topic discussions and more.
- Supporting. Ask what is happening in the ministry of group members, and consider how the group can be supportive and provide accountability.
- Reflecting (evaluation). Reflect on what the group is learning and experiencing. Determine what the group should do next.
- Sending. Bless each group member for the work ahead of him or her.
