Simple Group...

Ok, so it is May and another one of the busy months is here again. So busy in fact, you may not even get around to reading this blog until June! With such busy schedules taking place in our lives, it is very easy for us to skip out on our small group for various reasons. One that seems common to leaders is the amount of prep time involved with loaded or cumbersome curriculums.

The Twitter Twibes mentioned last week led me to a post by AlanDanielson.tv and he had a great recommendation for “The Simplest Curriculum Ever” on his blog. Basically it is an idea handed down to him from the mission field where curriculum may just not be practical or affordable in certain circumstances. The best part is that all you need for the study is a Bible.

Just read a passage of Scripture together and then ask these questions?

What did you like about the passage?
What did you NOT like about the passage?
What did you not understand in the passage?
What did you learn about God in the passage?
What are you going to do with what you learned?

So if you are looking to keep it simple heading into the summer months this should be a great start that will be easy and rewarding for all involved.
