Sometimes groups can get stuck in a rut when it comes to praying together, my prayer is that these creative prayer ideas for small group may help you and your group.

Discussion dominators tend to speak first, with much authority, and sometimes can be so intimidating that others do not participate and instead take a back seat.

Choose a missional Christmas project where together you can ‘bless’ the lives of others.

Asking questions is an integral part of our role as small group point people.

Help your leaders face the frustrations and disappointments that can come with the territory.

One simple thing I encourage new groups to do is to complete a very short exercise.

From the platform give a one-minute (or less!) vision talk to promote small groups and then ask those standing (i.e., small group attendees) to meet and greet someone nearby who is still seated (i.e., potential small group attendees!).

Social media can be a very simple and effective vehicle to connect with our team, to encourage, inspire, set direction and share information.
