Week One Lesson Plan
Team: since the booklets will not be available tomorrow, which means our small group members won't have a full week in which to work on Lesson One, we've decided that when our groups meet for the first time next Sunday, August 13th, we will focus on the following, and delay Lesson One until the next week:
Spend some time welcoming members back to small group, catching up with each other's lives (15 minutes or so).
Ask what has stood out to them from Pastor Chris's teaching in Ephesians 5 & 6 so far (15 minutes or so).
Go through the Preface in the Study Guide (20 minutes or so).
Pray (10 minutes or so).
The above is merely a suggested schedule. Adjust as you see fit or as discussion dictates.
IMPORTANT: please impress upon your group the vital importance of completing the lessons before coming to small group meetings, and of doing the homework assignments each week. Encourage them that by doing so, they can benefit the most.
Thank you all so much for your willingness to lead and teach. I have deep appreciation and admiration for each of you.
If you have questions about this or anything else, reach out to me tomorrow before or after services.
Thank you.
