Week Four - Communion Night

Week Four

Communion Night

Let's share our stories

This week in group you will have an opportunity to share your stories with each other. This is an opportunity for you to begin creating community inside of  your group. Nights like tonight are encouraged at least once a month so that you and your group are able to share in common activities that encourage each other in your faith.

As you hear from each other this week, we challenge you to be real and be curious – doing so will strengthen the relationships inside of your group and remind your group members that they are valued. Group leaders, don’t forget to share your story firs

There isn’t anyone you can’t learn to love once you’ve heard their story. -Fred Rogers

Sharing Your Stories

  • As the leader of your group, share your story first. You get the opportunity to model for your group members how to be real, vulnerable and the format of what the night will look like.

  • Don’t forget to practice curiosity! Actively listen to what other people share. Don’t offer feedback or advice. Instead, ask follow up questions.

  • If everyone doesn’t get to share tonight, that’s ok, you can share at the beginning of group next week!

  • If you finish up early, feel free to dive into Sunday’s Discussion Questions.
