bible study groups

It’s tempting to waive the white flag, to throw your hands up in surrender, to the summer slump. Many churches simply resign their efforts and re-appropriate them in the fall. First on the chopping block of suspended ministries are groups. It’s almost expected that groups will take a break during the summer months. But, doing so can have costly consequences if you aren’t prepared. Much of the work that was put into groups, building relationships, and developing community is lost during the break.

I've been a small group participant or leader since I first gave my life to Christ nearly 12 years ago. It's second nature to me to cling to others to unpack the Bible and to grow in my faith. That said, as technologies have changed, so have methods to communicate with and stay connected to people in your Bible study groups with whom you share life.
