MEETING AGENDA
Connecting
Begin your time together connecting and catching up on life.
“How was this week for you?”
Ask each other “Were you able to implement or try a new practice that you mentioned last time?”
“If not follow up with “What do you think you can do differently to be more intentional in the coming week? How can I help?”
“Reflect on how focusing on overall, physical and emotional health challenged and inspired you this week?”
“Share what God has been bringing to your attention throughout this week.”
Share victories, blessings, and setbacks, share struggles, concerns and prayer requests.
NURTURE: If you have been praying for a person in a group, and God has placed a thought, a word, an encouragement, or a blessing, kindly offer it to them.
Pray for one another and invite God to speak to you in your heart as you transition to reading of the Word.
