CONNECT CONVERSATIONS

Come together as a group to share your thoughts and experiences. It’s an opportunity to listen, support, and be supported. We believe in the power of collective prayer,  finding strength and hope in our faith.

INTRODUCTION

SMALL GROUPS
Create a group of 6-8 people consisting of people from different churches. Please only have a maximum of two people from one church at each group. 

  1. Arrange your group to be in a circle
  2. Introduce yourself and if you go to church, which church do you go to? (optional)
  3. Answer the question:
    “How has your faith inspired a decision you’ve made in the past week?”
  4. Keep going around the circle, each subsequent person must remember and state the names of everyone who went before them.

CONVERSATION STARTERS

  1. What are you hoping to get out of Connect 2024?
  2. When do you feel closest to God, and what do you think will help you to experience that connection more consistently?
  3. What do you feel are the biggest obstacles that keep you from being empowered by your faith in God? Are these internal struggles, external influences, or both?
  4. Do you feel that you have a strong faith community or support system in your life? What role do community have in helping someone to be empowered in their relationship with God?
  5. What does living out your faith as someone that is empowered look like in your daily life?

PRAY TOGETHER

“The Lord has promised that where two or three are met together in His name, there will He be in the midst. Those who meet together for prayer will receive an unction from the Holy One. There is great need of secret prayer, but there is also need that several Christians meet together and unite with earnestness their petitions to God.” In Heavenly Places, p. 91.

Option 1 – Pray especially for the person next to you and go around the circle as a group.

Option 2 – Divide your group more and pray in two or three with specific requests.

Option 3 – United Prayer through following the ACTS model.
