Tips on<br />
Hosting a<br />
New Group<br />
Take a look at the Circles of Life diagram below and write the<br />
names of two or three people you know—especially people who<br />
do not know Christ . Commit to praying for God’s guidance and<br />
an opportunity to invite each of them.<br />
FIRST: GATHER A GROUP<br />
MOST EVERYONE YOU KNOW WANTS TO HAVE<br />
A GREAT FAMILY. FAMILY MATTERS IS A GREAT<br />
OPPORTUNITY TO INVITE YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY,<br />
COWORKERS, AND NEIGHBORS TO DO A SIX-WEEK<br />
BIBLE STUDY WITH YOU IN YOUR HOME. THE TOPICS<br />
OF MARRIAGE, PARENTING, GRAND PARENTING,<br />
SINGLENESS AND BELONGING ARE TOPICS THAT ARE<br />
RELEVANT AND WILL RESONATE WITH MOST ANYONE<br />
YOU MIGHT INVITE.<br />
If your group starts with just a few people, that is alright. Include the<br />
group in this process of inviting people. The ideal Life Group size is<br />
between 10 and 14 adults, but it is fine to start smaller and grow.<br />
