The mission of every small group leader is to develop meaningful relationships with students- and to help shape them into the people God designed them to be. Small groups are the context for this to happen.;Small group meetings and the activities and ideas that go along with them, are not the mission. They are the vehicles we use to accomplish the mission. The mission is to develop relationships with kids. Small Group Ideas & Activities provides you with ideas to help you accomplish that mission. It will lay out a strategic approach to small group meetings, so your students can be ministered to personally and effectively. It will show how to nurture your students toward spiritual growth by giving direction to every idea and activity you use. Finally, it will provide you with ideas to help students encounter Jesus and live out their faith at every level of spiritual growth. The goal is clear: Your students will discover who Jesus is and embrace the relationship he has for them. While you can't control their spiritual journey, you can provide a nurturing context for this to happen. This book will help you do just that. TOC: Chapter One: A brief overview that fleshes out the philosophy and context for the book. We want the reader to understand three important concepts about small groups.;1. Small Group Meetings are value driven not curriculum driven. What we are trying to accomplish is more important than what we are trying to complete.;2. Small Group Ministry goes beyond the small group meeting.;3. Small Group Attendance does not determine participation. Relationships are more important than attendance.;Chapter Two: This chapter includes an overview of goals for a small group meeting, reproducible evaluation sheets, and ideas under the following topics: Connecting: How to get students to connect with you and each other Did you connect with the kids? Did they connect with each other?;Introducing: Creative ways to introduce your topic or bible study Was the topic introduced at the right time, in the right way?;Interpreting: Ideas for making the topic/scripture come alive Was topic discussed? Did it connect with where students were emotionally, spiritually?
