Ideas for Small Group Outreach and Service
This month, consider a change of pace for your small group. If you normally cease meeting in the summer, think about continuing to meet but at a different time and location:
If you normally meet in the evening, try a Saturday morning.
Consider meeting on an early weekday morning for breakfast at a local restaurant.
Meet in the afternoon, outside in a park, or on someone’s back deck.
Meet late in the evening at a local coffee shop or bookstore.
Consider adjusting your lessons to allow more time to think and pray:
Spend some meetings entirely in prayer and worship, focusing on the lost in your community.
Focus your summer meetings around outreach projects. Meet for a short time of prayer and worship, then engage in an outreach project. Finish your time with sharing the day’s experiences.
Hit the streets and prayer walk during your meeting time.
As you change the time and/or place of your small group meeting, look around and see who is standing around watching. Smile and, if the opportunity arises, visit with each person, inviting him or her to join your group.
