Small Groups Bus Stop

Every August, our small groups stop at the "bus stop"--people get on and people get off.  We ask our leaders and group members to commit for 9 months and then reevaluate.  What will your group do when the bus stop rolls around in August?  How will you create space for new people to get connected?  Maybe your group will "birth" into two new groups?  Maybe 1 or 2 couples or individuals in your group will take on a "missionary spirit" and launch out to start something new?  Here's a thought to ponder: the best small group leaders are currently in a group.  Who is willing to take a step of faith so that others have a place to belong?  Change is never easy for anyone . . . but change is also necessary for our growth.  Now is the time to begin discussing what your group will do at the bus stop.
