Group Rhythm: Playing

Do fun things with your group, both during your regularly scheduled meeting time and at more spontaneous times throughout your week. Spending time together simply for the sake of building relationships will make the group stronger.

There are many huge moments in the lives of your people. Natural milestones (birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, etc) as well as spiritual milestones (dedication, baptism, etc) should be celebrated liberally.

Your people have other relationships in the church that naturally lend themselves to joint group gatherings. Two or more groups gathering to spend time together, accomplish a task, or simply eat a meal will always strengthen relationships.

Social activities are the perfect time to invite your group member's ONES to experience authentic community with you. These fun gatherings can naturally reduce relational barriers that cause folks to be hesitant to join a group.
