III. Third and beyond Family Group
Themes: Continue to build dynamics, follow-up on last group, discuss how the evening was
for everyone. Questions? Discuss morning keynote and/or alternate activity
My Plan:
Opening and Welcome:
Re-Introduce yourself to the group, tell each person hi, thank them for being there!
Prayer:
Lord, we ask you to join our group here tonight, bless us as we share with each other.
Amen
Energizer or Relaxer:
Have the group learn everyone's middle names by one person sharing, then the person
sitting next to them stating that person's middle name and their own, and so on.
Family Focus:
Reflection, Prayer, and Meditation. Read question, have your group share and discuss,
read the scripture and ponder what Jesus did...
1. Luke 6:12-13 - What difficult choices are you faced with right now?
2. Mark 1:35-37 - What distractions keep you from taking time to pray? Luke 9:28-29 -
What changing or transforming effect has prayer had on you, or how has prayer changed
you?
3. John 17: 1 & 11 - What concerns do you have for your family and friends?
4. Luke 22:41-44 - Are you struggling with something for which you could ask God's Help?
How could God help you?
5. Mark 15:33-34 - When have you felt abandoned by God and when have you felt God's
presence in your life?
Closing: Ask your group if they made a highway billboard or sign about how they felt right
now, what would it say or have on it? Thank each group member for sharing
