Mistakes Part IV

Losing the Creative Edge

Don't lose your creative edge when leading your Life Group—keep things fresh. Be spontaneous in changing your group's routine. Be sure to have social outings together that are just for fun (yes...this counts as spiritual. Wouldn't it be great if one of the things people said about Christians was "man, they really know how to party!"?). Mix up the format of your gathering. Discuss things that you could have on the calendar to plan and look forward to- as a group. Challenge your group to think creatively of ways that conversations can be taken further- how each member can affect another throughout the week- how the group can experience God outside the confines of the Bible Study?Maybe plan to meet at different members homes from time to time. Can you ever meet outdoors? Does your space allow that some evenings, you split up the group along gender lines, drawn numbers, etc...?

Have fun with it. Keep it fresh. Share what works with the rest of us, and can the rest!
