Starting a taste of COMMUNITY GROUP
Who …Me? Starting a Taste of Community Group.
You don’t have to have all the answers or have a lot of experience leading groups in order to be a great facilitator. If you enjoy making new friends and desire to see others connected at NewSong, then starting a Taste of Community Group is a great way to get to know others and share in the journey of faith. Ask a friend to partner with you if you would like to share the responsibility of starting a group.
5 Steps to Starting a Group
-
Prayerfully consider your involvement
-
Contact Lee Eubanks for more info. and materials
-
Attend an orientation session
-
Set a date for your first meeting
-
Invite people to your group (contact friends and those who signed up) |
What curriculum will I use?
The small group workbook “Connecting with God’s Family” from the Doing Life Together Series. These workbooks are very easy to use and have a lot of tools for the facilitator. The books also come with a DVD that can be used during portions of the meeting.
How do I get started?
Taste of Community is offered in the Fall, Winter and Spring. It is ideal for facilitators to have some people in mind that they would like to invite to their group. In addition to those people, facilitators will be given names and contact information of those who sign up. Facilitators will then set a date for their first meeting and invite people to their group.
You are not alone
Facilitators will meet one-on-one with Lee Eubanks prior to, during and after the Taste for the purpose of training and coaching. Facilitators will also have the opportunity to meet with and learn from other Taste facilitators. Facilitators will also want to invite group members to share in the responsibilities of the group by; having a sign up sheet for refreshments, encouraging others to lead a session of the meeting, and inviting others to host some of the meetings.
