Ideas for Group Facilitators

If this is your first meeting as a group, discuss what expectations you have throughout the course of this six-week series. Those could include expectations for:

  • Personal devotionals
  • Weekend service attendance/engagement
  • Group Meetings
  • Each Other

Weekend service attendance/engagement

If your group is an established group or if you already have written expectations, revisit your group expectations and check on any needed adjustments.
