Last year I had the opportunity to write a small ebook for Orange called “Reprioritizing for Group.” I wrote about four ways your ministry could (and should) point to small groups. The book really came out of the experiences I had both growing up in the church as well as my experiences transitioning to a groups based ministry. It’s a quick read (probably 10-15 minutes) and only costs $2.99 on Amazon or iBooks.
Who is this ebook for?
- If you’re leading a ministry to kids or students and the group experience is less than ideal, this ebook will help.
- If you have someone on your staff that needs to be responsible for groups and they just don’t understand why it’s a big deal, this ebook will help.
- If you are trying to convince your leader/supervisor why you’re trying to shift your ministry to a more groups-based model, this ebook will help.
Did I say that it’s only $2.99?
Here’s a video I made promoting the ebook when it it first came out as part of the Weekly vault of resources.
Thank you so much for this! I just returned to vocational children’s ministry a year ago after a 4 year break to be at home full time. I went from a larger church with 300 kids a week to a smaller church plant with about 80 kids a week, and virtually no established policies and procedures. I’ve loved being able to come back and look at resources on here that I remembered being helpful to me years ago.
I bought this book after reading your post yesterday and just read it. The first chapter was so helpful as I’m just starting to write our vbs curriculum for this summer. The small group time was our biggest struggle last year (and we used one of Orange’s curriculums which was excellent). You helped me totally shift the way I’ll write/plan where the small group work will be done first and then I’ll write large group lessons to support it. Thank you so much for such a big “aha moment.”
What an amazing comment! Thank you for taking the time to respond with such an encouraging remark! Let me know how I can help!
Done!
