“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him,
he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”
John 15:5

Suggested Format for Reunion Groups

  1. Prayer to the Holy Spirit

  2. Worship: Share how you worshipped the Lord in the past week through morning devotions, prayer life, worship attendance, communion, and/or spiritual retreat.

  3. Closest to Christ: At what moment this past week did you feel closest to Christ?

  4. Study: What did you study this week to lead you closer to Christ?

  5. Call to Discipleship: Review chances you had to share Christ with others.

  6. Action: How were you Christ’s hands and feet in your environment?

  7. Discipleship Denied: Missed or failed opportunities to share Christ with others.

  8. Plan: Share your plans for worship, study and action for the coming week.

  9. Prayers for Special Needs: Share your needs with your group, then join the group in praying for the needs of others.

  10. Lord’s Prayer

Reminders
  1. Be regular. The group must take place weekly and everyone should be there—otherwise, it will not develop and may soon fail.
  2. Prepare ahead of time what you will say. Bring something to share.
  3. The leader of the group should rotate through the members from week to week.
  4. Take each section of the card and have everyone contribute his share to that section, then move on to the next section.
  5. Be aware that Christ is working in the world through YOU. Take the reunion group seriously—be serious, be honest, be careful to keep secrets. Be concerned for others.
  6. The group should get together for something other than the reunion; otherwise, it is difficult to develop a deep friendship in the group. The group activity can be a meal, a party as well as visits to a hospital or work on some project. Occasionally as a group activity, review the success of your reunion group. How can it be improved?
