Here are just a couple of resources that we think *might* help. Nothing beats continually praying, being guided by the Holy Spirit and learning as we go along of course, but these offer ways to think through things + tips/ideas that might help. So here goes!
What this is: Run by the inter-denominational Christianity Today International, this site pulls together tons of resources for small groups. Start here to find out more about their free training materials, assessments, leadership tips, tools to help plan CG meetings, and a regularly updated blog on small group dynamics.
Check out: Loads of potentially useful stuff, but here's a free-for-now e-training module on starting a small group (may be especially useful for BOND cg!)
2. Threads
What this is: Run by Lifeway Christian Resources, Threads calls itself "a community of young adults - people whose lives are marked by our passion for community, connection, responsibility and depth." Such a community, rooted in Christ - that's what we want YAM to be! Anyway, beyond material on leading a CG, this site also has a blog with articles and devotions targeted at young adults in their 20s and 30s.
Check out: Just as a taster, here's an article on connecting in between CG meetings and another devotional on living for Christ - part of a series Downhere (excellent band if you're not already acquainted with them btw!) wrote for Threads.
We've got more to share another time, but if you've any you've been using regularly do share them in the comments or email us.
Also, save the date!! 20 MARCH 2010, SUNDAY AFTERNOON, in CBC
This will be the first in a series of workshops to equip anyone interested in helping to build up their CGs. See you there!
