Topics include:
"An Introduction to Groups",
"What Small Groups Can Do", and
"How to Make it Happen".
There is also a helpful Question and Answer section at the end of the book.
52 Weeks of Guidelines The two most common questions Pastors and group leaders ask are, * "How can I find time to prepare lessons and lead my group?" * "Lessons are so expensive when purchased. How can we offer quality studies that don't cost so much?" Well, here are the answers!
52 Weeks of Guidelines is has everything a busy leader needs to do the job well. Guidelines are one page outlines that provide a complete study. They are reproducable, so the cost is merely 6 to 8 cents per person per week or LESS!
Here are the main features of 52 Weeks: * There is a Leader's Guide for every week with commentary quotes and suggested responses to get your group talking. * They are referenced by scripture being studied so you can choose lessons that correlate with your pastor's message or with a Sunday school lesson. * They include Bible application so the personal lives of your members are impacted. * They are also cross-referenced by topic so you can easily select a lesson on some subject of interest to your group. * They INCLUDE Ice Breakers and prayer suggestions.
The average cost per week of lessons purchased on line or in book stores, is over $1.24 per person! With 52 Weeks of Guidelines the cost is only penneys per week!
With each book the purchaser (either a pastor, small group leader, or church) receives the copywrites. That group, that pastor, or that congregation can then copy as many Guideliens as they like as often as the like!
