Ways your smallgroup can Help Would-Be Attenders

Not everyone can make it along to our smallgroups. Illness, work, life-circumstances--ok, there are heaps of reasons. 

Anyway, a little while ago some of our smallgroup (mid-week Bible Study group) leaders put their heads together to brainstorm ways a smallgroup could possibly help a would-be attender.

Here are some of the results:

• Take your smallgroup to them occasionally.
• Send a text to them asking for prayer points that can be prayed by the smallgroup.
• Send them a present on their birthday.
• Send them a hamper.
• Take them a luxury dinner, something really fancy.
• Commit to praying for them individually (at home).
• Send them a picture (MMS or whatever) every week.
• Find a way they can give something to the group: perhaps they bake bread, etc.
• Mow their lawn, clear their gutters, lend a practical hand.

This list is yet another reason I'm so pumped to work amongst our smallgroup leaders team. Thanks gang!
