In this episode, Kurt Garceau and Jake Rosekopf talk about the pros and cons of different summer plans for Community Groups as well as offer practical ideas for each.
EPISODE NOTES:
1. Some groups keep meeting throughout the summer
IDEAS:
- Study "one another" passages and creatively live them out together.
- Have a night where people share their testimonies.
- Have a worship/prayer night.
- Involve the kids in the study.
2. Some groups change their frequency of meetings and/or location.
IDEAS:
- If you meet weekly, try bi-weekly. If you meet bi-weekly try once a month.
- Schedule group time around people’s schedules and vacations.
- Take advantage of the weather! Meet at a beach or a park!
- If someone has a pool, meet at their house for a pool party/Bible study.
- Grill out on someone’s deck and have your Bible study there.
3. Some groups take a break until the fall.
IDEAS:
- Keep communication ongoing throughout the summer.
- Make sure everyone knows the fall re-start date and plan!
4. Some groups meet occasionally and do fun things together.
IDEAS:
- Decide to meet every other Friday at someone’s house for dinner and a movie, or get a projector, set up a white sheet, and watch a movie together outside.
- Watch the 4th of July fireworks together.
- BBQ at someone’s house together.
- Sit around a fire and make s’mores together.
- Serve together. (To find out how, listen to Episode #4)
- Take a day trip to the coast, mountains, or nearby state/national park together.
- Decide to sit together at church and then head out for the beach after church.
