Week One Question Suggestions

"Ministry is using whatever God has given me to serve him and the needs of others."

When we talk about finding your ministry we're saying what has God given me? That's where it starts. What He's given me He
expects me to use in serving Him and the needs of others.
Here is a list of questions for week one 1:6. You don't have to use all or any of the questions listed. If anyone has any good questions, please comment on this post. I will have printed this list and put them in your mailbox at church.

I have also listed a suggestion of an object lesson for week two or later if you like. It is only a suggestion.

Week ONE Question Suggestions for 1:6 Groups:

Growing up, what was some things your parents made you do (chores, a behavior)

Describe a team or organization that succeeded even though they were not the most talented.

What types of people do you have the hardest time relating to?

What is one talent that you see in others that you don’t do well, but wish you could?

Describe a Time when someone helped you do something that you didn’t have the resources or the ability to do.


Suggestion for week two or any week following:

List the ingredients for a cake on individual index cards. One ingredient per card.

Have each person (or family) take a card and ask them to bring that ingredient to the next 1:6 group meeting.

At the beginning of the meeting, mix the ingredients for the cake and put it in the oven for later. Talk about how each ingredient, by itself is not generally tasty, but added together they make a good cake.

Eat the cake at the end of the 1:6 group or give it to someone who would appreciate it.

RMC 1:6 Group Leaders New Blog

This is the first post for the RMC 1:6 Group Leaders. I would like to use this as an informational spot for the group leaders. I will have added each of you as subscribers to this blog. All this means is that if you will verify your email, you will recieve these posts in your inbox. I will be using this ONLY for 1:6 Leaders information. I won't be loading your inbox with junk or frivolous stuff. However, I would like this to be the way we communicate in between meetings. Let me know if this won't work for you.
