Synopsis:
"Here are hundreds of field-tested activities contributed by small group experts from across the country. These creative ideas will help you in the four components of healthy small group life, as well as in evaluating your small group. Community activities are provided for the four stages of group's life. You'll find get-acquainted games, exercises to help with greater self-revelation, ways to process conflict and memory-making plans for celebration and closure. Whether charismatic, liturgical or somewhere in between, you'll find ideas for worship and prayer that will help you stretch the boundaries of group members and learn from one another. As you draw closer to God together, the group will be strengthened as well. The ideas for nurture will show you a variety of ways to do Bible study and give you some creative methods for making application concrete. A healthy group is one taht sees beyond its borders and serves others. In the outreach section you'll find ideas for inviting others into your group and for working together in evangelism, social action and world mission. Whether you are a small group leader, a group coordinator or a pastor, you will return to this invaluable resource again and again."
