Running the Course?
This course has been specifically designed to remove all the usual preparation time for small group leaders.
We recommend you gather people in a home, have a shared meal together, then watch the session and chat when prompted.
-
We think the best way to get something out of the course is to do it with a small group of people!
You could invite people to your house, and have a shared meal together. -
Each video lasts roughly 15 minutes and onscreen questions will prompt you to have a chat in your group.
-
Mark and Sarah facilitate discussions around various topics, which you can pause for longer chats or just let the video play to keep things moving!
