Huddle De-Brief

(or What lead­ers are Say­ing about their groups)

Dur­ing the recent Huddle gath­er­ings, group lead­ers joined together over four even­ings for input, prayer and sup­port. Every even­ing had dif­fer­ing emphasis as God led us in dis­cus­sion regard­ing spe­cific situ­ations and chal­lenges. There were some con­sist­ent themes com­ing from the groups how­ever that all lead­ers might like to know:

1) Many lead­ers sug­ges­ted that doing a church-wide cam­paign such as SIGN was bene­fi­cial, but some­what dis­rupt­ive at the begin­ning of the year. In future, we will allow groups more time to estab­lish them­selves before such a campaign.

2) God is on the move within our groups. Many poten­tial lead­ers are being pre­pared, and new mem­bers and/or believ­ers are begin­ning to swell some groups. Begin to pray about when to mul­tiply your group, and who could be included in a poten­tial lead­er­ship team.

3) The quarterly Huddles and the annual Envi­sion day are suf­fi­cient support/training for lead­ers, and worth sustaining.

4) Groups retain a strong diversity in cul­ture, but can still incor­por­ate the aspects of G.R.O.W.T.H. that ensure group health.

Thanks to all who atten­ded (which was almost every­one!). We intend to adjust a few things to improve the exper­i­ence for next time. Stay tuned.
