Hello Small Talkies,
John Bush and I have been emailing back and forth lately about the new small group DVD material out called Re-Group by Henry Cloud, Bill Donahue and John Townsend. I am in the process of having a brand new group test it in preparation of rolling it out as our official 8-week starter study that we would provide to new groups beginning at our March 29th GroupLink.
I like the material and how it leads a new small group into becomming a cohesive group. I tried to review the material through the lens of a brand new small group leader and a person new to group life in general. I think it makes it easy to get everyone on the same page with their expectations of group life and their responsibilities to the group as a whole.
As I get feedback from our leaders I will keep you posted. Have any of you had the opportunity to review the material? I would be interested in hearing your thoughts.
Remember lunch on the 27th!

I have watched the DVD and read through the ReGroup material. I think it looks terrific. I was thinking of asking a leader and group that have been together for quite a while to do it. I thought it might encourage them to "be all they can be"(to borrow an army phrase).
We have a few groups that have been together for several years and have had no training for the leader or group members. I can see this material working as well for an established group as a new one.
We are having our first official small group leader training this Sunday. I'm going to introduce the idea of ReGroup there. It will be interesting to see their response.
Be sure to keep us posted and I get feed back I will do the same.
