Sentence

And now do not be distressed, or angry with yourselves, because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life. Genesis 45:5

Collect

God of welcome, we encounter you in those different from us; enlarge the tent of our lives to embrace both friend and foe, so that we grow to be more like you; through Jesus Christ our Liberator, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Questions

  1. When was the last time you were in a conflict situation
  2. What are some things that help in conflict situations - to remain in the room, to be open and kind?
  3. What are you seeing in terms of God’s purposes at this time - what is the good he intends? 
  4. What might God be calling you to do to be part of that?

    We have a variety of tools that we are working on to help small groups 'connect'. These include activities that you can choose to do together as a small group worship service.
    Remember that these are simply a starting point for your small group - you may discover other tools or activities that suit you better. If you do discover something fabulous, please share it so others may also be encouraged.

    We thank the Diocese of Wellington for their work in forming the framework for the house church liturgy.
