Do we really care?

It's the beginning of the semester and groups are back up and running...I can't help but wonder how many leaders out there are asking their group the question: Do we really care?

As group expectations are clarified, ground rules agreed upon and group norms established how many leaders are asking the big questions?

Last week I showed Will Miller's presentation of Refrigerator Rights from the '07 Willow Groups confence...it's now a must-see for many of our groups simply because it's so funny :) My group had never seen it before so I was interested to know how they would respond...do we care enough to establish refrigerator rights with one another?

This is a big question for a group to answer as it can immediately help a group spout it's wings...

What if you were to have a conversation with your group where you answer a series of questions...maybe something like:

Since we care about each other we will ___________.
Since we care about this group we will ____________.
Since we care about this church, our group will_________.

I wonder what that conversation would yield...

First we must answer the question...Do we really care?
