Food for smallgroups Thought

Crossroads Classic smallgroups are just about to kick-off for the year.

I'm spending some time with our leaders tomorrow, and we're going to take a look at the models advocated in these two articles:

• The Big Read - on reading big slabs of Scripture
• The Swedish Method - on a super-flexible framework for studying a shorter passage in a group

This year, our smallgroups will follow a varied curriculum across the year: a couple of months reading big slabs of Scripture; a couple of months at a slower pace, in the details; some time functioning as a book club; and more.

So I need to figure out how to coach our smallgroups leaders to run fantastic book clubs... hmmm. More thought required :P
