Most people remember experiences more than messages.

This doesn't mean that we ought to neglect the message. It does mean that we depend on experiences to drive the messages home.

This principal is at the heart of serving together as a group.

Join CCN to learn how the experience of serving together can become a catalytic force for growing your small group — while caring for a needy world!

"The great temptation of small groups is to turn inward and lose their edge," says Bill Donahue.

Becoming the Body of Christ is more than just taking good care of our own members. Christ's example of discipleship is that real learning happens while meeting the needs of others.

This practical session is an invitation for small group leaders and members to take Donahue's suggestion to look beyond their "holy huddle" and move past a "What's in it for me?" attitude.

Together we will explore:

• What does it mean to be "stuck" in the circle?
• Why is serving so important?
• What's different about serving as a team?
