You are simply using something that already happens most Sundays and using it strategically to give an opportunity for people to openly share about their positive experience of small groups, en masse! What’s not to like about the picture this paints?
At the same time, you could also do one or more of the following;
- Encourage small group attendees to be available to talk further with those they greeted after the service (if appropriate!).
- After the service, provide an information booth, flyers or other material to help people know how to find out more about small groups in your church.
- Plan this simple idea around the time you are promoting a church wide campaign or small group connection event.
One simple idea! Why not give it a go?
 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!).){kind=link}
