The next Small Group Sign ups are coming August 28th.
Signups are at the beginning of every quarter.
The device you choose makes a difference. A COMPUTER is better than a TABLET, and a TABLET is better than a SMART PHONE, but they all work. On Zoom there is even a call-in option.
It may take a few meetings for it to run smoothly, but hang in there because connecting with your Small Group online is better than social isolation.
Having your notes by your side helps you focus on the people in the video screen, and make the most of your time together studying God’s Word.
Know online meetings may be slightly shorter than in-person meetings. That’s okay. Also, be ready to focus and make your time together a priority. With no travel, you are already saving time. Be flexible as your group figures it out.
A great Small Group meeting allows everyone to participate and keeps God’s Word at the center. Be aware each person needs to participate, so we need to allow everyone time to talk. Online groups have different distractions than a normal group. Distractions will happen so give yourself and your group grace as you navigate together. Some examples of distractions: pets, kids, eating, the background behind you, what you wear, or walking, etc. Please do all you can to minimize distractions.
Whenever possible put a password on your meeting and any other recommendations the platform you’re using suggests. Here are some of the recommendations if you’re using Zoom.
Make sure you have logged successfully into Zoom and know the date and time of your first gathering.
If you are the host, please email register below so we can send your helpful resources and support you.
