Session One: Why, What, and How of Watch Groups

In this session Jon Shirley discusses why Watch Groups are a simple and effective way to make disciples. He unpacks what a Watch Group is, and what it isn’t, and he draws on the Gathering Network’s long history of missional community leadership to cast vision for a thriving life in the COVID-19 season.

Session Two: Clarifying Expectations

In this session Jordanne Bonfield discusses the importance of externalizing and clarifying expectations in the formation of Watch Groups. This is a season requiring more communication, not less. Jordanne walks us through the delicate, and sometimes difficult process, of externalizing our expectations before there is a big miscommunication. Do we wear masks, or no? Should we wash our hands when we walk in the door? Fruit tray anyone? Right, you get the idea….

 

Session Three: Q&A

We are in a season saturated with questions. In this session, Jon and Jordanne, and other leaders in the room, answered the questions of those attending. We know you probably have questions too. Feel free to reach out if your questions weren’t answered here. We are here to help.
