Summer Ideas for Small Groups
Summer vacation is almost half way gone! For many people, summer has been a time for camps, sports, vacations, and just being out of our normal routines. With the many activities, we sometimes miss out on some amazing opportunities to do community with our Small Groups. Don’t miss out on what could be the best summer yet for you and your Small Group! Here are a few ideas that can make all the difference for an AWESOME SUMMER:
- Meet at the Park a couple of times this summer. This allows your Small Group to get out of their normal routine and allows you to have some fun! It doesn’t have to be elaborate and you can meet at your normal time and ask everyone to bring some food and do your study. Another addition to add to the fun is to pick a park that has a water feature and a large play area. The kids will love the water and the adults can get together for a game of kick-ball! Have fun!
- Have a BBQ at someone’s house. Instead of having the BBQ in the backyard, move it to the front yard and invite the neighbors to join in. This would be an amazing way to invest in your 1Life.
- Take a Hike! Yes, we live within driving distance to some of the best hiking opportunities around. Plan a day where you and your Small Group can go together. Don’t forget, take plenty of water! You may also choose to make it a camp-out!
- Plan a Guy’s/Gal’s Night Out. This is a great way to build relationships. You can plan a game night, bowling, golf outing, or maybe attend a sporting event together. Be creative and enjoy the company of your Small Group members.
- Serve together! There are several opportunities where you and your Small Group can serve together in the community or at Central. You can call our Care Department for some ideas on where you can serve. It amazes me how close a Small Group gets just by serving together.
- Dive-in-Movie! Find someone in your Small Group that has a pool at their home or in their community. Get a projector and set up a movie screen or just a white sheet and watch your favorite movie.
Whatever you do, spend the rest of this summer making some great memories that will last a lifetime! Also, share some of your ideas that your Small Group has done to make the summer time a little more fun!
FOR FREE…
Looking for something to do with your Small Group…for FREE? Building 429 is doing an SOS Radio listener appreciation concert in Las Vegas on Tuesday, August 9th at Valley Bible Fellowship! It’s a FREE SHOW. It starts at 7pm so mark it on your calendar and line up early! If you know of other events that are happening in our community, please let us know or post them on our Facebook page.
Hope you are having a SUPER SMALL GROUP SUMMER!
