Group Night

A typical format for a group night is as follows :

1. Tea/Coffee etc

Refreshments!

2. Worship

This can be led by a guitar or other instrument. If there are no musicians, worship tapes and CDs can be used. It can also be used as a meditation rather than sung.

3. Bible Study

The aim of the bible study is to get to know God better and to discover how to apply bible teaching into our lives.

4. Prayer

This can follow on naturally from the Bible passage as we ask God to help us to understand and apply His Word. There will also be specific prayer requests for group members and their family and friends. Note : no-one is 'forced' to pray aloud!

5. Outreach

One of the aims of the growth group is to reach out to others. This provides an opportunity to discuss potential new members and pray for them.

From time to time, the above structure can be 'abandoned' in favour of something different!, for example, a video or a social night.
