========================================================

Some call this the 4 W’s in Your Small Group Meeting (LIFEGroup Meeting) 

OLD FASHION # 1  

WELCOME

Begin your small group meeting [LIFEGROUP] with the “WELCOME” time.  

This could be an icebreaker question that may or may not be related to the lesson, a brief game that everyone can play depending on your setting and venue, or fellowship time over food.  

The purpose of this portion is to make everybody feel comfortable and help connect them to each other. 

This should not take long. 

Suggested time is 10-15 minutes.

OLD FASHION # 2

WORSHIP

After connecting with each other, the small group’s focus is directed towards God through a time of prayer.   As the situation allows, the group can even have a song as part of the worship segment.

Suggested time is 5-10 minutes.

OLD FASHION # 3

WORD

Now the small group is ready to be edified with the teaching of the lesson by the leader.  

In this particular material**, there are home study guide questions that are designed to be answered from the Scriptures.  It is highly encouraged that the questions are answered before coming to the meeting.  

The leader uses these questions as part of the lesson while the group opens their Bibles to the Scripture references.  **DISCIPLESHIP MANUAL with Homeworks

Suggested time is 15-20 minutes.

Part of the “WORD” portion is the sharing time, the purpose of which is for personal application of the lesson.  The leader asks 1 or 2 application questions which everyone is encouraged to answer as their response to the Bible truth learned.  

Suggested time is 15-20 minutes.

OLD FASHION # 4

WORKS

During this segment, important announcements or reminders are made by the leader such as the Sunday Worship Celebration and any upcoming His Life event/s, training, course or seminar.  

Other reminders include ministry assignments, invitation of new people (empty-chair principle), or other concerns the leaders may have for the group.  

“WORKS” also   includes closing the small group meeting by praying for one another.
