Group Introductions | Sept 22-28, 2024

Lesson

Introductions (10 minutes)

Welcome people as they arrive and let them talk informally and then have everyone sit and enjoy the food that you will share with them. Take time now or around the table to share everyone’s name with the group.

Conversation Starter (30 minutes)

Select one or more of the following questions to help them get to know each other a little:

·       What’s your name and how many cities have you lived in? You might ask which cities.

·       Where did you live when you were born and where do you live currently?

·       If you were an instrument in an orchestra, what instrument would you be and why?

Group Activity (70 minutes)

You may want to move to more comfortable seating if you have been at the table. Once everyone is settled in, complete one or more of the Getting Acquainted activities we provide with this document or one that you think will help people get acquainted.

Concluding the Gathering (10 minutes)

Conclude the session by covering the following in preparation for next week:

·       Where you plan to meet and what time next week.

·       Food plan for next week. It can be a snack or a meal depending on what the group wishes to do.

·       Be sure you have everyone’s contact information.

Close in prayer.
