Small group outings Pt 3

Hey there everyone, I know my posts have been all about these small group outings but I believe they are so important for our ministry. Here are a couple reasons we do small group outings.

1. It shakes up the schedule - The one thing I hate about schedules is that a lot of times there isn't a lot of time to just have fun and hang out. So many students go from school to practice to homework to bed. I want to be able to give 2 hours of unabashed fun!

2. Get to hang out with people who care - Students get to spend extended time with their small group leader. Someone who cares, someone who takes time away from their family to pour into a their small group of students. This a lot of times can break down walls by letting the students see their small group leader just having fun with them.

3. Allows the student to have some ownership of the night - The students and the small group leaders get to plan the night, so it gives the student a chance to voice his or her opinion on what they want to do. So some students might want to go and have fun playing laser tag, while some might want to go and help out at the mission. There are a ton of different options and it is really fun to see students get excited about their small group outings.

Those are some reasons we do Small group outings. I hope you guys have a great time tonight, please make sure you contact your small group leader if you aren't not quite sure what you are doing tonight.
