Celebrate The Wins

WINNING IS FUN!

Recently I witnessed this first hand as my oldest son’s baseball team was crowned the champions of a weekend tournament. It was awesome for them to experience the reward of practicing and not giving up even when the game became difficult. At some points it even appeared as if his team might lose, it was an emotional game for them and even for the spectators (especially the parents).

City Groups

Winning is the desired culmination of all the effort that is put towards achieving a goal. For a small group leader the win will look a little different than what it will for a baseball team but nevertheless the victory is just as sweet.

One of the keys to success for a City Group Leader is to Celebrate Victories.

This key reminds us to focus on the reason for the group by placing value  on the life change God brings about in people.  It’s important to take time to celebrate these within your group.

A victory in a small group setting may be any of the following among lots of others:

– someone sharing for the first time

– answered prayer requests

– deeper friendship within the group

– approaching a circumstance with a scriptural perspective

– a godly change in attitude or priorities

Would you take a minute to share a victory that your group has recently experienced?  Whether you write a sentence or a page I’d love to hear how about a win in your group!
