I have been a bit MIA lately on my blog which is not at all like me. So why the absence?? I had a busy week planning a day long small group leaders training. We had the training on Saturday and I think that all the planning and creating of handouts was worthwhile. We had about 20 young adults learning with us about leading healthy small groups (or what Matthew's Table calls "community groups").
We separated the day into three parts: an overview of Matthew's Table's vision for community groups, basic steps to starting a healthy community group, and skills necessary for facilitating a great group. Interspersed with teaching we had lots of interactive exercises done in - you guessed it - small group format. We also had lunch, dinner, and lots of breaks with one another to build community amongst leaders.
One of the cool things is that we plan to follow up with the trainees by having monthly get togethers for encouragement, prayer, support, and further training. I am really excited that we now have a plan for MT community groups and that I get to play a part in such an important ministry.

You did an incredible job with the teaching! I cannot think of a better fit for our Community Group Coordinator.
Thank you.
