Seek Small Groups

Hello everyone! Off and on I've been reading a book called Seeker Small Groups by Garry Poole. Garry is on the ministry staff at Willow Creek Community Church in the Chicago area. There are 4 sections in the book. The first section is about how to start a small group. In the second section he tells us how to attract seekers to small groups. The third section talks about leading small groups. And the forth section is about reaching seekers through the small groups. Then he has sample lessons you can use in a seeker small group setting.
The small group idea is a very good one. Jesus had 12 disciples. And in that larger group there seems to have been little small groups (ie. Peter, James, and John were always invited to go with Jesus like to Gethsemene and on the Mount of Transfiguration). Paul always sent greetings to certain individuals and the church that met at their house.
Small groups certainly seem to help people grow faster then in a large group all the time. It gives people more chances to try and succed at things.
Thank you for reading. God bless you today in Jesus' name!
Zack
