I appreciate all the small group leaders in the children's ministry at the Lawrence Free Methodist Church and want to dedicate this series of posts to you to help you be the best small group leaders you can be!
I hope these tips are encouraging and helpful. Let me know if you have ideas for things to include or if you'd like to write the tip sometime.
One of the best ways to have a great small group and to communicate to kids that you love them and value them is to be ready for small group time. Kids appreciate knowing that their leader has a plan, is excited about what is going on, and cares enough about the lesson and the kids to prepare for their time together. Just like the scouts, a great motto for us is "Be Prepared."
Eyes Wide Open is designed to provide children's ministry leaders with practical tips for increasing the effectiveness of their ministry. It includes nuts and bolts information, like how to give directions so kids will listen, to ministry philosophies, like the benefits of using small groups.
