Community Builder 2 (Oct 9-15)
Community Builder Practice: Week 2| Oct 9-15
Communities @ Grace
Goal for Week: Continue to build relationships with those in your Community, or get to know your existing Community on a different and more personal level.
45 minutes: Welcome, Pray, Eat + Mingle
Like any Community night, have dinner together. However, rather than feeling like you need to get through dinner to dive into a Practice, enjoy a long meal together. To set the tone, open in prayer.
If conversation is not naturally flowing in smaller clusters of people, it could be good to pitch a question like:
What are you hoping for out of the next 10 years?
If your childhood had a smell, what would it be?
In your group of friends, what role do you play?
45 Minutes : Game Night
This will take a little prep. You can either a) have people bring their favorite group games and then decide when everyone arrives or b) pick one or two good games that work for the whole group.
Recommendations: Fishbowl, Mafia, Heads Up, Celebrity/Family.
Then, play a game!
10 Minutes : Pray for One Another + Close
Consider praying as a whole group or in triads for personal prayer requests.
End on time in order to honor everyone’s time.
5 Minutes: Practice for the week
Before everyone heads out, leave a little room to plan or propose your family outing for the following week.
Challenge your Community with homework: grab coffee with someone different in the Community this week and share your story.
